I got a set of rims from a mate for free. Unlucky, they come with 4x114.3 stud pattern.
Is there anyway I can redrill them(ie: multi stud way) to fit in my EG.
If it can be done,does anyone know how much it would cost?
Cheers

It should be able to be done, but I dont think I would want to. If they are not designed to have a hole there then there is a large possibility that the rims could crack between the holes.

Just sell them off and buy some that are drilled right for your car. By the time you pay for drilling + what you can make off those rims, you can buy another set that are right.

I wouldn't recommend it for these rims. Mine have been redilled but the back was thick as where the original holes are, whereas if you re-drill these ones, it will have to go in between on the thinner metal, and it won't be as strong.

no you cannot redrill those rims.
as spunkeymonkey has said.
if it was solid all around, then yes you can re-drill them.
