and thought they'd look good on my car, but not sure about them cos the guy says they're 105 PCD and 70mm centre bore, so I'd need them redrilled and get spigots made up... something I could get done cheap if I find the right place??

You could redrill them but, they would look crap. I always think multifit wheels scream out 'tacky' and 'dole money badly spent'.

yea you are probably right I didn't think about the other holes being on show... hmmm can u redrill hubs?

You could get the front hubs,and your discs,professionally re-drilled. But you cant re-drill your drums.

ah ok cheers, wil keep looking for wheels then!

But you cant re-drill your drums.

really? how come?

I assume you would drill in a hole and tap a thread into it, i wouldnt personaly do it though.... or get it helicoied?

Car you take your wheels anywhere to get a multi stud fitment drilled in properly? I have a set of wellers which i would LOVE on my car but the PCD is some thing like 80mm and i would like them drilled out to 100mm.

I assume you would drill in a hole and tap a thread into it, i wouldnt personaly do it though.... or get it helicoied?

don't see why not, only the same way the original holes got in there. No need to helicoil either that's generally just for repairing knackered threads. The only worry is how much metal is left on the hub/drum between the holes (since you'll now have 8). I'd have thought you'd be better off re-drilling the steel hubs and drums rather than the wheels themselves which are made of weaker aluminium (not talking about tomm's wellers of course).

Yes i see what you mean with the helicoil there hayesey but what made me say helicoil is because you could tap the thread out to some thing larger and then insert a cromoly (or some thing a bit stronget that the standard steel drum) so give you a nice solid hold thats got a better chance of not stripping/cracking!

Wellers are cool! screw all of this polished naff! Get some steels/wellers!

Steel is real!
