I have a set of 5*114 wheels. I'm hoping that I could use them but the car is 4*114
Is it safe to have the rims drilled over to work 4*114?
Any machine shop recommended?
Thanks |

NO
never drill rims
think about it you will have at least 2 new/widened holes
that is totally unsafe |

| look into a wheel-spacer/adapter set or hub/lug conversion if you so want to use the rims. The rims would not be balanced/could crack if you attempt to drill |

x2 although I prefer the stud conversion over adapters. |

if it is cast like that its a big difference to drilling one that was not
while casting they would have added metal to where it needs to be to ensure the wheel stays strong |

| if it was meant for that application, it would have come with the spacing you want. It it engineered for manufacturers specifications. sell these rims and but ones with the spacing u want, unless u wana die |
