Redrill Rims?

[driftking777]

Hey was thinking to myself...i've seen a few japanese companys out there that drill there rims to be 5x114.3 and 4x114.3 all on the same rim...So if i were to get a 5 lug wheel...would it be so wrong to get it drilled to 4x114.3 or would this upset a parrellel universe and just not work?

it would probably just upset a parrallel universe probably =) but it'll still work lol, you should be fine, seen a few running cars drilled out to 5 lug, it'll just look a little weird IMO

Mite mess up the integrity of the rim and it will shatter on you when you are going 95 on teh freeway!!!

bad idea, itll weaken the integrity of the rim.

just buy a 4 lug... redrilled 4 lug from 5 lug will look hella janky, and not to mention the loss of metals through the holes are unbalanced. athigh speeds those small differences will make a difference.,

[krustindumm]

the wheel can be rebalanced, which will eliminate the balance problem

I highly doubt it would effect tructural integrity significantly. Draw it up in cad and do some stress simulations.

I wouldn't do it. Just because you're messing with the objects that keep your car on the road. I would go with a 5-lug conversion. Just save the money IMO.

Just drill the hub/rotors on your car for 5lug.. if done right, its safe.
