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).
