17" Style 5 Redrill to 4x100?

[navid41691]

So I came across 17"x8" style 5's for a very good price but they obviously wont fit our cars but I love how they look so can these be safely redrilled to 4x100?
Thanks

So I think I did something wrong...

[Pantless Spency]

yes you can, just make sure you don't have some dumbass doing it, must have a real professional shop do it.

[Pantless Spency]

its just a dumb question, you could google fill and drill.
not too long ago a member posted his fill and drill 4x100 style 5's.

@ Pantless Spency; style 5 17x8, 3 piece are from the e39s and style 5 16x8, 1 piece are from e38s. The one hackjob you are refering to is for the e38 style 5s.

Don't think you can do the e39 wheels, I'm pretty sure the larger center bore interferes with the lug pattern.

Oh hi Danny........:giggle:

My wheels are filled and redrilled style 5's off the e34. Its possible but you have to take it too a professional shop and make sure you tell them exactly what you want.

YES you can. This is not an internet "yes" or "maybe". Make sure you have a shop with a good reputation do the work since it needs to be done RIGHT.

I've always been curious if they would be track safe, or if a ring of sorts could be welded to reinforce the hub bore area

Like these perhaps... it's been done

Where in the NY/NJ/Pa area can wheels be professionally filled and redrilled? And at what cost?

[Acehye559]

Here is a set like mine- http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=195319

A good shop would charge around $100 bucks a wheel. There are places where they do it for cheaper but most of the time its half-ass redrills (rings/ not filled/ etc.)
