its possible assuming that the parts your going to use are the same setup as the standard holden ones, ie wheel bearings, etc.

It may be possible to get adapters... ring a few of your local parts stores or give americanautos a go- they seem to carry a lot of strange things!

sounds feisable, also will make your cars wheelbase wider by a few cm's. do they exist mild or is it just a thoughtful suggestion?

I know they do exist for a lot of applications but not sure about the ford to holden adapters as I've never purchased them... to be honest i'm not sure about the legality either.

If they are legal and available I'd be looking at that before changing to ford hubs etc... it'd be much easier ;)

Honestly i would be selling the rims and finding something that you like and will fit. If you are changing stud pattern you will start running up one hell of a bill because you will have to get ford brake rotors and calipers to match. Just something to consider if you find yourself going down this path.
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.

if your wanting to fit ford wheels to a holden take your axles and front hubs to an engineer and get them redrilled the fords also use a 1/2" stud verses holden's 7/16 stud it'll cost you around $200 and you'll also have to redrill the rear disks

when you get a flat tyre you would have to phone up one of your ford mates for a spare!. can be done and the rims are probably good, but the easiest and best option would to get proper holden stud pattern on your rims.
