Wheel Machining - Mutli Stud Conversion


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Might be a very silly idea/question, however is it possible to take a later model 17x8 5x114.3 rim and machine to incorporate a 5x100 stud pattern?

I only ask as I'm finding it difficult to find a 17x8" or 17x8.5" in a 5x100 in the right offset to be able to fit with out the need for flares. I either need to run a hub-centric 25mm 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapter/spacer, which in turn will result in needing flares and panel work or purchasing exactly what I need in the right stud pattern and offset which seems to be quite pricey.

Was hoping I could pick up a set of the enkei 17x8 5x114.3 53 offset and convert to 5x100.

I understand the later wrx had a 5x100 17x8 in a 53 offset, whether they clear brembo calipers I'm unsure and locating a set of them is proving to be difficult.

Any help/advice would be awesome.

Cheers.

Any decent wheel will be made for the number of studs and there wont be enough meat anywhere else in between to make an entirely new set of holes. And no u cant slot the holes

Rotas n such will have a mile of blank space for new holes as theyre a generic casting

Wheels can be filled and then redrilled, it is expensive and finding someone to do it now is pretty hard,

I do have some Super Advan SA3R's that i may let go for the right price, in the size your looking for

Are those the tri-spoke one's?

If so, not really my cup of tea sorry.

Cheers

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
