cutting out a 5-lug patter on a 4-lug rim? - SRT Forums

There is this amazing wheel i want made by Urban Racing called the Type 8, i want the black one. Anyways it has 8 holes in the rim, for a 4-lug pattern of course. Now i have seen one of these on another srt-4 and his had 10 holes, or 5-lug pattern, now ive searched the net completely and cannot find 1 place that has 5-lug Urban racing Type 8 rims so im wondering how he got that pattern, did he get someone to make the holes or did he get lucky and find the one set of rims with 5-lug pattern.

Those are some really gross rims. But you can have a 4 lug redrilled to 5. You can not do it yourself. And on our cars its realy not advised because 1 maybe 2 of the holes are going to overlap depending on what the 4 lug pattern was. If the holes overlap you'll have a weak spot in the wheel. A wheel is not something you want to find out has a weak spot.

Another alternative if you are absolutely set on buying these wheels is to get them in a super high offset and buy adapters to bolt them on. This is defeating the benefits of 5 lugs though and will be another weak spot in the system should you start to mod your engine.
