why not do a spacer/adapter? if you re-drill the holes then the wheel will wobble. i had a friend in jersey put BMW 7 whels on his camaro...they were off just a bit so he widened 2 holes...he ended up snappin lugs.

if it doesnt fit right...something's wrong. and if it's wrong, then it wont work right...any way, do what you will. there's worse things on the road than someone trying to rig up some wheels.

In all likelihood, you won't have room for adaptors. Filling existing holes is relatively easy and safe, and can be virtually invisible. Redrilling can be completed with absolute precision by the right shop. It wasn't long ago, that vendors routinely stocked blanks and only drilled wheels to meet specific application requirements.

well i do have a set of HR adapters sitting in my garage. the problem i'm running into is that where the existing studs come though i don't have/cant find a lug nut small enough to fit in the hole on the adapter. and the way that the 4x100 and 5x130 bolt pattern overlap there is hardly any room to open up the hole.

also kinda leaning against filling and re-drilling because of the way the wheels are drilled, i don't want them to look like shit.

wheels in question, so you can see what i'm talking about.
