5x114.3 converted to 4x100.

[Tom eg5]

Hey guys. is it possible to re-drill from 5x114.3 to 4x100 on a wheel?..

Or is there not enough space between original holes.

Cheers, Ash.

[japcollector]

Hahaha pretty sure its impossible. To much holes in it already

You will also risk damaging your wheel if you try to drill it

[Tom eg5]

Thats what i was thinking yeah. Just checking though cause i thought i had seen some that have been changed to that lol. but must have been another pattern.

[geeang]

It's possible to have a wheel with 5x114.3 redrilled to 4x100, I'd imagine it would affect the integrity of the wheel and be more prone to failure.

There are some wheels out there that actually come as 5 + 4 stud, looks strange.

[Tom eg5]

ah ok. thats positive. cause ive been asking a few people, and havent really got a straight forward answer about it. :P

[waix]

well ive seen heaps of drifters that redrill 5 stud wheels to fit there s13, n 180s although its 4x114.3 i dont see it being any different for 4x100, unless your centre hub hole is too big. Or you can get the wheels re-sleeved i think thats what its called, my brother is doing it to his ssr mesh, 4x114.3 to 4x100, its where the original holes are filled up then redrilled couple mm off the orginal hole. really worth it for awesome wheels.

yehh seen it on some driftteks does look abit odd.

can you redrill the JDM DC2 4x114.3 wheels to 4x100?

[Zilli]

speak to Neales Wheels in Strathfield... theyre in Sydney, dunno where you are

[hisoka]

can you redrill the JDM DC2 4x114.3 wheels to 4x100?

use a hubcentric spacer conversion. and that way you can run some loopy offsets too.

[02gzm]

4x114.3 to 4x100 is fine as the holes are spaced apart. It's when a drill hole crosses an existing hole that it's a big no no.
i.e. 5x114.3 to 4x****

[jesmine0]

You can do it but you are not ENCOURAGED to do it.

I saw ppl doing it. Nothing new. Just make sure you not drive like crazy and they sud be fine. Also, I am sure the cops will like you!!

[Tom eg5]

ah ok. Do any of you guys have prices on what it would cost for re-sleeving and redrilling?

Ive heard it being around 200-300?

[Tom eg5]

So i found out my center hub bore on these are 64mm. Im pretty sure. So that size should be able to have 4x100 drilled around it?..

Ive seen some 4x100 drilled around a 73mm bore, which is cutting it fine.. so just checking?

also just noticed enkei rpf1 comes standard 73mm bore with a 4x100 stud pattern.

So i should be fine right?.. having the holes filled, welded, and drilled new pattern?

on the same subject...is it hard to get 4x114.3 re drilled to 5x114.3? it would only mean adding another stud wouldn't it?

No, it is not adding another stud because the spacing between each hole must be identical. So you have to redrill 5 new holes.

[02gzm]

A lot of wheel shops won't do a 4 to 5 hole redrill because some of the holes will overlap each other and is quite an obvious safety hazard. The structural integrity of the surrounding metal is compromised as the circle isn't complete and there isn't even pressure being exerted on the stud.

Changing the spacing size on a 4 hole wheel moves the holes either outwards or inward from the hub centre (depending on which size you go obviously) and the holes don't overlap.

[90LAN]

just need a drill with a nice big bit to suit the stud size and a marker pen

and a bit of elbow grease

save your self some money do it your self

so if something happens you can blame your self not others

Yeah but im after mine to be re-sleeved and then re drilled as 4x100?..

That would be obviously better than just drilling holes and overlapping with the previous stud pattern?..

[vampzzz]

how about 5x120 to 5x114.3?

cheers.

[hisoka]

if you do it yourself, make a stencil or something first.

actually, its re drilling 4 holes, 1 of the original hole will remain.

wow those holes look quite sketchy that close together.

if you were converting to that pattern, wouldnt it be better to get all the holes sleeved and then drill it?

[Tom eg5]

another thing i wasnt sure about, is that the back of my wheels are not flat. Only around where the original 5x114.3 pattern is.

When getting them sleeved and drilled, will he just create a flat surface for each new hole with alloy?.. so it sits flush against the hub?

Ahh, thanks for the correction. :thumbsup:

Damn the stud holes in that pic looks so dodgy being that close together.

[mr180sx]

Have you found someone to do this redrilling yet? I wouldnt recommend resleeving. Have seen so many that have cracked. Not safe at all.

Hardest part is too find someone that will do it for you. Sounds like it will be exxy as well

[Tom eg5]

This is a picture of the back of my wheel; its not completely flat, but do you think its possible to fill the gaps and smooth it out so it sits flush?
