    Redrilling Hubs?

    Decided this should go here because its not a wheel question or a 5 lug swap. But I've been deciding between buying a set of style 5s and doing a fill and redrill or adapters. But could it be possible to drill the hubs to 5x120 tap the holes and run a stud kit to achieve the 5x120 lug pattern with ease?

    Are they 16x8 Style 5's? With the 16x8 Style 5's you can get away with adapters. I don't think it would be possible to drill out the hubs for a different lug bolt pattern seeing as one hole will overlap the 4x100 pattern.

      You could just press out the rear hubs and use the 318Ti hubs and do a e36 front housing and call it a day.

        I'll look into both options I think I'll probably go adapters because there is so many more 5 lug wheels I I like.

            Is that all there is to the swap? Just swap hubs from a 318ti and your e30 is good to go 5 lug at the rear? Brakes stay the same? No other fabrication transplant?
