redrilling is perfectly safe to do provided it's done by someone proper. | |

That would be the issue I have. Maybe ot worth it for Cav Turbo rims, but it opens the option of having wheels on the car that no-one else would. | |

Ahh nice one, i'll see what they say, probably not worth it just to put some Cav Turbo rims on, especially if theres a chance the wheel will just crumble as soon as i hit a pot hole accidently haha | |

I've been looking into this as i'd seen a guy from South Africa on here with some 4 stud Turbo's in a picture, but wasnt sure if it was safe to do so. Any idea what places would weld it up? My mate works in a big machinist place so im guessing i could get him to redrill the wheels? | |

You could always change the PCD of the wheel. there are companies that will fil and weld the wheel, and redrill to the desired PCD. Around £50 a wheel i believe | |

why not use hub centric changers, i have a VW friend who uses them. | |

That's what i thought, so i've decided to spend some money on a Sportex backbox instead! | |

Changing hubs is the only way. | |

4 stud hubs would be to small to have drilled,5 stub hub has a bigger circle of diameter | |

Reckon re-drilling some hubs would be safe? The original holes would be properly welded up and machined flat, then a proper machinist would be drilling new holes | |

I'm after some Cav Turbo rims for my Corsa B, but obviously the big problem is that they're 5 stud... Anyone know what works involved converting to 5 stud? Can you just get stud adapters? I don't know what any of it would cost or which is the better choice. Any help is appreciated! Thanks |
