Sup kids,

I know you can redrill 5x100 to 4x100...

but what about 4x114 to 4x100?

possible?

i wouldn't really recommend it. i can't imagine it would be good for the structural integrity of the rim

True..

i've seen some other rims redrilled though... and it looks pretty iffy (like 1mil beetween the metal)

But i'm sure they would only do it if it's safe..?

i've heard of some places doing this professionally, but never looked into it cos i'm sure they'd charge a fortune.

ALso 4x114 & 4x100 is easy as they are the opposite of each other. I've had multistud rims and that is how they are designed from factory, so i don't see why there is much of an issue

easiest way to redrill them would be to bolt on some disk brakes to the wheels and use the bolt holes to drill. The 2 grub screw holes are 4x114 and if you get good bolts it should hold the piece in place for you to redrill them. That's how i redrilled my rotors, but you should use a bench drill.

P.S yeah i like the wantanbes also, Initial D style ;)
