what would be the best way to get my herald to a 4x100 stud pattern, the lack of wheel choice with 4x95.25 is depressing. if possible I don't really want to use wheel adapters.

MGF wheels are same PCD as Herald if that is any help. Their alloys are dirt cheap as well. I've got MGF steels on my Marlin and only £20 brand new with new Goodyear tyre !

I made a set of pcd adaptors many years ago to convert my Sprintfire to 4 x 100. The thickness of the adaptor also compensated for the different offset used by FWD 4 x 100 cars. Ran (hard) for at least 15 years or more with zero problems.
The only other way to convert is to redrill the hubs and rear brake drums

There are some tasty wheels out there if you know how to look.
I got some Appliance WireMags off a Lotus for my Standard as some of them use the correct pcd
Caterham had a period of using said pcd as well so search for that. I'm pretty sure there was also some formula type cars that used it, so crazy wide steels are available as well...

Yes, that pcd was widely used for single seater and sports racing cars as well. If you do want to go to another pcd Merlin Motorsport, Canley Classics and others sell alloy hubs either drilled to Ford pcd or blank for you to drill. You can also get hubs with thicker spindles which will reduce the pad knock off that you can get with big grippy tyres. It all costs though...
