thanks, and no problem!
the only thing worse than having to imediately take my new wheels off because of the bolt length was when i had to take my first set off because they were completely the wrong offset!
make sure you post up some pics when you get these ones rolling..

wheels are mounted. i used a stud conversion kit and i had to swap the tires off my madrus milleniums
onto them because the tires had cracks in them and they rubbed like
a mother******. pics soon.

I've never met him but he's pretty damn knowledgeable.
He's had some pretty sick cars and a very informative site.
