Title: Re-drilling Wheel Hubs
Post by: sideshowfred on May 15, 2012, 05:52:52 pm
I've got a set of wheels in my shed that I think would look rather good on my car. The only problem is there 5x100 fitment. I very much doubt the wheels themselves are suitable for re-drilling due to the design of them. So can the hubs and discs be re-drilled or would it be more hassle and cost than it's worth?
Any help much appreciated, Fred

You need hub adapters mate, no need to go drilling anything  :scared:

That was going to be my next question, but I didn't think you'd be able to get adaptor reducers haha. Just need to find £300 for a set now then  :fighting:
