Good to know i think i have found a place that can enlarge the bore and they can also rebuild futura rims to shallower or wider as well as making new bcd and et.
So it can definetly be fixed, just a matter of cash ha.
Hopefully they can just open the bore .5 mm on the front and they can fit the wheel as is (possible narrower tire) with wiggle bolts and then a spacer for the rear in a size that makes the existing tire and rim work in the wheelhouse or perhaps with a narrower tire.
That would be ideal from here on. As it would fall in acceptable money (i think..) Making a futura rim less wide and with a different et and possibly new bcd sounds expensive.
Pity i dont like the original wheels much as it would likely be a better option to just have them refinished and some new rubber. Its just something about them that makes the whole car look a bit flat (also not a fan of the f1 style fake center hub design).

That is odd. But it is where you are now. Maybe a little polishing of the wheel center bore or some one with a lathe to confirm the same amount is all round if you are worried.
The center bore doesn't hold the wheel on the nuts/bolts hold the wheel on to the hub.
One for later but can the wheel place balance the wheels on the car, on a few have had issues with balance on the car but the wheels were perfectly balanced off the car. With a little variation between spacers, hub, disc, bolts and studs caused odd vibration. Balancing on the solved this issue.
