Bolt pattern converting.
Is there an easy way to convert from 4x100 to say 4x114.5 with just a bolt on spacer or something easy like that? Are there spacers that convert your current bolt pattern to a different one? I searched and I only found a couple things and really need some help.
Here is the set of wheels I am picking up, Enkei Apche V's, I have allways wanted them and got a good deal on them. If I can't use them on my car then I am going to clean them up and sell them for a profit. So either way it's a win win situation... Here is a picture of one of them, selller says they are 4x114.5 and came off an rx-7...
Thank for the help in advance.

yes there are adapters that you can convert bolt patterns with. I would not recommend them on a car because they are usually 1" to 1.25" thick which would push the wheel out too much and it will definetely rub on your car.... i'm assuming its a del sol. And do not try to redrill the wheels that is very unsafe.
Thanks for the info, if I re-drilled (which I probably am not) I would get it drilled in those open areas. Where can I get an adapter to do this? I am thinking of getting fender flares to run these wheels/ other low offset wheels...

A few things about this.
As long as the back of the wheel hub is flat without voids you can redrill them. I know because I have a set of BBS rims from a BMW (5X120) on a CRX (4X100)
Now, this is not something you do in your garage with a hand drill. I used a milling machine (bridgeport) with a DRO (digital read out). I also made hubcentric rings and the wheels ride just as well as the factory rims. I have used them in autoX's and I have gone through 4 or 5 sets of tires on them in the few years I have had them.
It can be done, safely, but by someone who knows and on a wheel that can accomodate the extra holes w/o hurting the wheel's integrity.

Thanks maxbore for the info, they are old wheels so I am not sure if there are voids or not. I would not personally drill them, I would have a pro do it, I don't have the tools and I don't want some hackjob whells.
