    5x114.3 -> 5x112 is just enlarging the bolt hole and pressing in a steel insert.

    You have the option to fill and drill to 4x100 since it would be the first time it has been done to the wheel.

        Well they are three piece rims, so I would just break them down and put bigger lips on them. For the price it is still cheaper than buying ones the way I want. So I will just get the lips and the adaptors and call it done. I want BBS RS rims with 9 in the rear. I don't know how to get stance right, but I like the look of deep dish in the rear and a tiny bit in the front. I think a bit larger lip in the front and 3" in the rear.

        Do I have to hunt for the rings? Or does a site sell them?
