    Redrilled wheels?

    Is there any danger in this, is done professonally. I found some nice wheels, but they are redrilled. I want to make sure if it is safe or not. The car will not be autocrossed or tracked. If so I will use other wheels. TIA

    depends on what both lug patterns are and how well it is done. If it's two 4lug or 5lug patterns it's ok, after market wheels come with two bolt patterns. Mixing 4 and 5lug patterns is where it can be a potential problem.

      another thing to consider is hub diameter, the larger the hub the weaker that mounting point will be, because a 4x100 pattern moves the holes closer to the hub. you may be okay if you ran custom hubcentric rings though.

        There are Work wheels that come drilled with 4/5x100 or 4/5x114.3. My Eurolines came drilled in such way. You'll see a lot of that on their wheels that rock centercaps.

          Ill find out the hub diameter. e30s are 57.1 correct? The wheels are originally 5x114.3 and going to 4x100 obviously.
