View Full Version : Wrong size rims, drilling new holes?

Well I got these rims off of a co-worker for free, because the 1 rim is bent, but if I can make them fit I can get it fixed. They are a 4 bolt pattern so i assumed they'd fit because I thought 4X100 was the most common size. Well these rims are a little bigger. I was thinking if it was possible to drill 4 holes for the lugs between these holes. I have a drill press so they would be straight, but the two things im worried about are strength of the rim, and they wouldnt have that stepped hole. Could I drill them out flush and use bolts instead of lugs? Any ideas guys?

Thanks, Matt

unless you can find the exact center for the rims and get them perfectly balanced....i wouldnt do it. or you can have a pro do it.

Noooo don't do it. That's so unsafe.

you might be able to make an adapter plate for um but as for actually drilling new holes i agree with every one else its pritty dagerouse that and u would totaly feel the wheel hop

or you could change your hub out to a 4x114 pattern

wouldnt be too difficult... just retarded.

if you want some of your wheels pass you while you're on the freeway, do it!

Buy an adapter for all wheels. Don't go drilling anything unless being dead on the side of the road is a game plan.

this looks very home made, even i know a profesional wouldnt of drilled the holes that close to the others
