Redrilling Rims

wrxodee · 08-28-2010, 06:01 PM

I just want to hear from the people who have done it. Where did you have it done? What did it cost you? Success or failure in the long run? Thanks guys!

I remember a few threads covering this before. You'd better off finding wheels already drilled though. Weakening the hub, causing stress points, etc.

thats not too bad. i was thinking about redrilling hubs or wheels and then just decided on the adapter plates off of ebay. hope they dont fail. (crossing my fingers)

no i have to get the wheels prepped and wrapped in rubber before i get them for fitment.

i will be running fender flares though.

post some pics of the spacers. where did you find em and how much

went on ebay punched in 5x100 adapter and they pop up.
about 130 for 4. that was the best deal i could find. actually most were 5x100 to 5x4.5 (which is actually 5x114.5) so only 2 tenths of a millimeter off. many people swap the two out and they fit fine.
