i was looking at some universla 5x114.3 with 4x114.3 lug rims...i noticed that most of them use about 3-4 of the existing holes..so is it possible to redrill a 5x114.3 lug configuration to fit a 4x114.3 configuration?

 

People do that with brake rotors (to use 300ZX rotors on a 240SX).

I have seen wheels with a dual 5/4 hole pattern, but unless the back side of the mounting pad is completely solid, it's not going to work.

 

not sure if that's very safe way to go. seen it done on some style rims but not all.

 

well i wasn't going to drill them myself..i was gonna have a machine shop do it..or willl it still be unsafe?

 

i saw some wheels where they fill up the holes and redrill them, that might be better for the overall strong hold of the rim.
