Wheel dilema

I got a great deal on some 16" rims. I thought they were 5x 4.5.  I also thought that my 86 Cougar was a 5 x 4.5, well my Cougar is 4 lug.  And the person who sold me the wheels calls me and tells me that he forgot to tell me they were not 4.5 but 4.25.  He also tells me that I cant have my money back.  So what can I do?  Adaptors will make the wheels stick out to far.  :mad:

convert the car to 5lug(5x4.5) and have the wheels redrilled if possible
sounds like an expensive dilema. kinda kills the good deal on the rims. :(

pics of the wheels?

IF it really was a good deal, then maybe you can sell/trade for something that will fit?

edit ** btw - aren't most Fords incl Foxes 4.25 bolt circles?
