If you are talking about the billet aluminum adapters they will not work on a front wheel drive car because they are not hub centric in design. You are better off to find a shop to redrill your hubs to accept a 5 lug pattern, it will be much safer too.

Get a 4x100 pattern drilled between the 5x114.3 holes (giving you 9 holes). Just make sure you go somewhere that know's what they're doing... it's going to have to be very precise so that the rim rolls true. That'll also let you switch the rims to another car if the bolt patterns and offsets match up. What are you getting that can't be bought in 4x100?
