i just came back from the junk yard earlier today and what did i buy? i bought some 17x8 messhi type lookin wheels from a 98 saab, whats the problem here? it is before i got them i checked to see if they would fit so i placed them on a q45 they fit but not flush all the way like the holes for the lug nuts are not wide enough what i want to know is if you can drill the holes a little bigger so they would fit right please these wheels are ballin in my eyes

mY CAR is a 90 240 like in sig with a 5-lug conversion thanks for looking

Well Saab bolt pattern is 5x110, so as you found out it's not going to fit normally. I would be hesitant to drill out the holes out of concern for wheel failure...

Unfortunately, no longer a Nissan or Infiniti, but continuing here at NICO!

That would seriously damage the wheels and make them likely to not stay balanced well. Result might be poor handling, increased shaking and vibration, strange tire wear, etc. No matter how good they look, you are asking for trouble, I think.

Side question: Is the hub bore size right for a Nissan or Infiniti vehicle?
