Need to convert bolt pattern for 1 rim
I ordered rims off Alibaba and received them as expected until I tried installing them and realized one of the four rims has the wrong bolt pattern. They are supposed to be 5x100 but one is 5x114.3. (Thankfully they say they will refund me so we will see what happens there.)
My first thought was to just simply buy an adapter but the issue is that my wheel wells cannot fit any more offset from the wheels, as they are already flush with the fender which is already rolled, so I can’t afford any more offset outwards. So the adapter option is off the table.
I already fitted all 4 tires onto the rims and I’m not going to send them back. I don’t want to wait another 30 days for 1 replacement rim to come in either. So my top 2 ideas are:
Bring the rim to a machine ship to weld steel plugs into the existing holes and then re-drill the new correct bolt pattern.
Modify my hub & rotor to convert the studs to the larger bolt pattern
Option 1 is my most favoured of the 2 obviously as it doesn’t mess with my car, only the wheels. But just looking to see if anyone has any other ideas. Thanks
