I'm wondering if anyone else has converted to a 5 lug bolt pattern other than 5x 114.3. The reason I ask is because I have some very nice looking BMW 5 lug 18's that I'd like to fit on my s13. Of course BMW has to be difficult and make their bolt pattern different from everyone else (5x 120 I believe). Is it possible, more importantly, safe, to redrill hubs and press in new studs?

Anyone else have an idea? Bolt on spacers would be ideal, but non existant for 4x114.3 to 5x 120.

Thank you for any constructive responses!

maybe just do the 5x114.3 swap, then pick up some 5x114.3 to 5x120 adapters

Talk to Fred Goeski of wheeladapters. His hubcentric spacers (in this case adapters) have always been awesome. Pricey though, but excellent.

Just confirming the BMW bolt pattern of 5 x 120. I used to have a 1993 325i. Still have some rims (stock style, but nice looking) sitting around in the garage - as well as some M3 sideskirts.
