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.

Um... it's dangerous?? :shock:
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! :lol:
