redrilling hubs
 

I have been trying to find some 4x110 wheels :beatdeadhorse5: and am tired of looking. I was thinking about taking my hubs, disks, and drums in to a local cnc machine shop that does very precise work and haveing them redrill everything for 4x100. This wouldnt be a permanate solution but would let me have some nice wheels till I get my 8.8" rear end and bolt patteren swap ready. Lets hear some opinions!

Why not just buy a set of 4x100 to 4x114.3 or 4x100 to 5x114.3 wheel adapters. I have seen them on ebay & a few other sites.

Heck, discount tire direct has 15 x 7 wheels with the 4 x 110 bolt pattern for around $350-400/set shipped. Usually have them in stock, too.... Just need to get some screw in studs, as the stock (junk) lugs won't work with these wheels.
Granted, they only have one style and color available, but they fit well and look nice. I have a set in storage for backup, in case I decide to take off my other 15's......

Due to the fact that for some odd and unknown reason I am dying to run Sportmax 002's in 16x8 0 offset on my car and with 1" wheel spacers there is no way to stuff those wheels under my car even with the ZG flares that I am ordering.

I think Enkei is re-introducing the Enkei 92's or you could get a set of old ones if you like meshies.

They did bring back the 92 but they are only in 15x7 and 4x100 patterens :( and I want some very aggersive fitment wheels.

Sportmax 002's 16"x8" 0 offset 4x100 & 4x114.3 like these.

I plan on redrilling the hubs on my first gen with a 3rd gen motor unless I sell it before I get that far with it .I would redrill before using adapters .

yeah but in 15x8's

Above you said 16x8 0 offset, 15x8 should be easier to find.

I meant to say 15x8, but both are a stock size that alot of places either have or can get, I was thinking about 16's but 15's will end up giving the car a more period correct look and its a little cheaper to 15's.

Yeah I agree the 15's would give a good look to the car.

unfortunately if you want aggressive offset you need to spend big money on some custom fitment applications wheel companies that offer a wide variety of offsets.

Honestly 15x8 0 offset is as aggesive as I would want to go.

You could just go with the ReSpeed 5 lug conversion.

I have looked at their site and cant seem to find the 5 lug conversion or a price on it. I talked to a local machine shop and was told that for between 3-4 hundred dollars I should be able to get all four corners redrilled.

Or you could spend half that on the front big brake kit by RE-Speed (the conversion kit) http://mrcmfg.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=37, add in some junkyard TurboII calipers, some cheap rotors and the stainless steel brake lines, some and decent pads and you've got better front brakes and the 5X114.3 bolt pattern that will give you the wheel options. Also in case you aren't aware, the front hubs are part of the brake rotor and the area that the lug screws into is thicker than the surrounding area of the hub. Unless your machinist is also a phenomenally skilled welder that can add material inside a ver narrow space, you probably won't have much peace of mind and will run the risk of serious damage, injury or death. RE-Speed also offers Moser axles that can be drilled any bolt pattern you want.

+1 on the RE-Speed.

...

but how much am I looking at for a full re-speed setup? Cuz based on what I need according to you guys I will be in to that setup $700+

It may be a little more money to begin with getting the Re-Speed setup but in the end you will have a better setup. Plus you won't have to worry about having the rotors drilled every time they need to be replaced.

The other way you could go would be with a GSL-SE suspension setup and get 4x114.

I have my full gsl-se swap that I have ready to bolt in basicly that I would go super cheap on and its got new everything. s.s. lines, hawk hp pads, new rotors, new bearings and its all been sandblasted, the front spindles were powder coated and the rear axel was primered and painted. the front calipers were epoxy coated and so were all the rotor hats, (didnt get to do the rear calipers :( ) and also have full set of volk wheels with new bfg tires that would complete your car :) 1000 bux for it all (i have more in the se swap than that)

If I had a spare grand in cash I would buy that from ya but I just dont have the cash to spare right now.

If you don't have the money to do the job right then I suggest you hold off for a bit and save up. Better to spend a little more and have nothing to worry about.
