is it possible to drill hubs to accept 4x100 wheels

[Grounded]

Ive searched for a week to find this info.
I know most of you will tell me to sell the wheels. Not gonna happen.
There brand new Rota Track R's with brand new falken 912's 205/45/16
the problem is i thought they were universal and am now stuck with them and out 850 dollars. for the wheels and tires mounted balanced crome stems and shipped to my door.
Hub adapters arent an option for me either.

so what i want to know if its even possible to make these awkward hubs 4x100 on front and rear?
the cars a 92 accord LX sedan

and these are the wheels that make me want to kill.!

you MIGHT be able to switch something over, but i dont know, altho those wheels are sexy as hell!!!!

Save for adapters or sale them

since you said hub adapters aren't an option, have you checkecd into having the wheels filled and redrilled? redrilling the hub seems simple enough, but there must be a reason why you don't hear of people doing it. later.

thanks, sucks they sit here and stare into my face as paper weights

adapters, look terrible there is no way i'll have wheels sticking outside my fenders. its unsafe and looks of crap!

i know down in PR and on most other hondas when people want the 5 lug conversion done they simply drill them out.

its similar to how a ton of people do different brake rotor upgrades on civics.

Oh ok, I never seen a car with adapters. Then I would say try and do what typeg suggested.

[JDMchristian991]

Fill and redrill.

What is the offset on the wheels? If you bought them new then I would try to return them. If they are used you are better off selling them. To have the wheels redrilled will cost more then what the wheels are worth. Same goes for trying to convert your car to 4x100. Its just not cost effective. If the wheels are like a + 40 something. Then 25mm adapters are still an option and shouldn't push the wheel out past your wheel well.

if you go to a decent machine shop, they can make the lug holes bigger and put in a custom made eccentric washer.

That way, you can use the wheels for either 100mm or 114.3mm applications.

Here is what an eccentric washer looks like:



for wheel nut applications, the inside bore will have to be tapered, which can be easily done at a machine shop.

Do you want to pay to machine a brand new set of wheels or save up for wheel adapters is your call.

i'd go for the ebay wheel adapters dude.....for 2 sets it'll be like $138.00 its up to you

plus repaint. thats a no go for me.

the offset of the rotas is +40. i will take them over to the car tomorrow to hold them onto the hubs with the other holes so i can guess how far they'll come out.

the other problem is im now lowered on teins and am guessing a severe fender roll will also be needed.

i wish i could find adapters in 15mm

Ive never even heard of these things im going to have to do some research on them. these go on the wheels im assuming?

im just worried that the wheels will be out to far and unsafe. as i said i should go bring one of them to the car tomorrow to asses how far the offset will become with the Xmm adapters.

I would assume they go into the lug holes.

I would assume they go into the lug holes.

im concerned about what would hold them in. with a slight research these are the same thing they give you for camber adjustment in the front for cars that use macphearson style struts.

anyone know what mm it is from hub to fender on cb7?

[Flatline]

so the wheels are 4x100 and what else? there is another set of holes for a reason. Unless they are 4x108 (Ford ) then i would go with the cool looking washer thing. that will be the best outcome if you ask me.

I would assume they go into the lug holes.

yeap, mind you the above picture is just an example eccentric washer, the one for your wheels might look different.

There are actually some old school JDM and EDM wheels with this type of eccentric hub hole setup. Basically the eccentric washer can rotate altering the lug pattern diameter, last set of wheels like this I saw was able to fit anything from 125mm to 108mm X 4 lugs.
