redrilling advice needed

[jllphan]

So I see a lot you guys are filling/redrilling wheels and I've never done it. Like the look of the style 5 and am contemplating going down that road. Found this set and am curious if there's anything I need to look for when sourcing the wheels for this project?

I don't think these are staggered or even 16x8's, but might be a good first experiment. Thoughts?

A professional shop must do the fill/redrill. It's not something you could do at home.

Make sure the back of the hub mating surface isn't machined out or anything in between the boltholes. The wheels you pictured are not like that, but some style wheels are.

Def don't plan to do myself, already have a wheel shop squared. Guess I was more less making sure basically all style 5's would work? Realize offsets differ depending on size and application (off a 5 or 7 series), just making sure most would work. I can talk to this guy again to get the numbas stamped on the baskets to make sure I have what I need before I buy, just trying to establish what I need to look for.

Those are e38 style 5's, therefore they are 16x8 et23 all around. You will need a 5mm or so spacer on the front regardless. There are a few people that run them on here.
