Can you re-drill wheels safely?
As above really... I keep finding wheels that I like, but the wide widths and low offsets only seem to come in 5x114.3 and I am 5x100. Just wondering if it can be done safely by someone with the correct equipment of course, not just me at home with the black and decker haha. Also if it is possible and somebody has had it done before... rough price?

It used to happen on the vauxhall scene where people would get the holes elongated (professionally) by about 2mm to allow volvo wheels to fit their cars but 14mm would be too long for that method

Yes you can redrill wheels.
Dependant on the design of the hub mounting face and existing pcd you may get away with a straight redrill which any decent machine shop can carry out. If not then its a plug and weld job. Not a problem to the right person but I've seen a lot of awful jobs from so called pros! G23 engineering are excellent but not cheap and have a decent waiting list.
What wheels is it you want to fit? Pcd, offset, size?
Cheers Ross.
