Default SSR Super Fin Redrill Questions

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you can help me with this. I have a set of 16x7 +38 SSR Super Fins. They're currently 4x114.3 and I need them redrilled to 4x100, but what I was worried about is the lug pattern being to close to the hub. Here's a picture to see what I'm talking about:



Would this be an issue to have them filled and redrilled? I was searching around and saw that the difference between the two patterns isn't much, and it should sit like this once it's done:





Also, one of them has a bend on the lip and barrel:

That should be a fairly easy fix, right?
Thanks, I appreciate any input!

problem w/ those is that the back side of the hub is not flat. it has the pockets in the back. only solution would be to do a fill and redrill. i have seen a handful of those done but its more work than just a simple multihole drilling.

and also, that lip is an old skool reversed rolled lip made for more strength. should be able to be fixed but some shops might not be able to get it totally perfect due to that roll.

I mentioned that in the first post, I'm just making sure theres enough clearance for them to be filled and redrilled, because of the center hub.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. I just wanted to check with another person that theres enough room to have them filled and redrilled to 4x100.

Oh wow, that's perfect. I hope whoever I take them to does a little cleaner job, cause I'm missing one of the center covers

looks as if toyo and opossum know their stuff. might wanna contact them about this type of thing but like i said, i have seen all types of stuff done. you just have to get a specialist that knows rims and actually cares about the outcome. sometimes people dont do as clean of a job cus they know you have covered caps but just ask. maybe there is a way to fill it in more and cut down the welds smooth.

they may even have a lead to make you a new ring.

I sent an inquiry to DippedParts.com from a referral from one of my friends on ScionLife, so I'm waiting for his reply to see how much he charges etc/etc.

But one thing I heard about Opposum is he doesn't fill, he only does redrills.
