Multifit wheels are not elongated holes. They have 2 sets of holes.


Not quite Peter.

Yes, many multi-fit wheel have 2 (or sometimes even more) sets of holes. But, Ive handled many sets of US made alloy wheels which have elongated holes & matching offset bushes. The stud patterns were 4.75" (Chev/Holden) & 4.5" (Ford/Chrysler). They was supposed to centralise on the centre spigot, but in some cases they did not.

Crappy idea they may be, but they were available back in the 70s. Whether they comply with any ADRs or RTA regulations is another matter entirely.
