Well I got some 20 inch wheels for an insane deal but they are the wrong bolt pattern, anyone ever heard of redrilling rims or know anywhere that does it to make em fit the ls, one of my friends suggested sending them out to a cnc shop and having them drilled the right pattern for the ls and said it wouldnt be that bad, but would it weaken the wheel at all?? Ive seen many wheels with dual patterns and these only have 1 pattern now so I think it should be ok...Whattdya think???
Redrilling rims/Changing lug pattern??

yes it can be done - but IMHO not a good idea. Especially on big heavy rims - simply makes the stress point even weaker.

I agree there are too many risks it just as unsafe as the adapters......

Yea but if you use an adapter your offset will be really off and your rims will stick out a lot. It is better to drill holes. You got the rims already, you can't do anything else, unless you sell em or something.

Dear god dont try it buy a hub adapter ring of off ebay or somewhere. I operate a machine shop and we did this for a 18 yr old kid about 5 yrs ago, lets just say it wasnt cheap to do at all.

Sounds to me like you got an "insane deal" on four paper weights....

Excellent idea. Spending money on something you can't use really is an "insane deal."lsondubz said:
You might see if there's some way you can use them as trade materials at a local tire/wheel shop, or something like that, but definitely don't put them on your LS.
