My guess would be that they aren't the right PCD. It's illegal (for road use) so I don't think you will find too many people willing to do it for you. |

The used to simply redrill the holes without filling the original ones, that was dodge. But I can't see any reason why they can't redrill them if they fill in the originals. Who's to know anyway? Mag wheel shops used to be good for that kind of information. |

Make a few calls to your local engineering places, they should be able to do it for around $100 for a set but there should be no need. Bob Jane at Erina told me I had to do it when they saw that my studs just make the outside of the rim and they thought the nuts wouldn't fit on. I wont be going back to them again! It would be next to impossible to find nuts to fit if you got them drilled. |

Make NEW hubs, if you go that way. Anything is possible, just costs $90+/hr at your friendly toolmaker with all the CNC machining goodies!
