Vicious-S Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 i used a drill press to do it, that made things pretty easy. i used a 9/16" bit (an uncommon size, so you'll have to look around for it; it took me 3 tries to find a place that sells them), and a 3/4" countersink to give it the bevel so the lugnuts get nice and tight. it was easy, and if i can do it, then anyone can!

MorganM Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 To clarify.... you drilled out the rims or the hubs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RnrRick Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 ........ and a 3/4" countersink to give it the bevel so the lugnuts get nice and tight............. Sure sounds like rims to me........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious-S Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 indeed! the rims have been drilled, not the hubs (the rims were cheaper!). it gives the subie a more aggressive look. i put some 205/60/15's on it and they fit very nicely; they totally fill the wheelwells. i had to sledge the seam inside the front in order to get my full turn radius, just fyi for all thos diy'ers!

Zefy Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 you gotta watch out though...running the 6 lug on a 4 lug set up will make it weaker... just don't go off jumps that are to big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 No subie will destroy a 6lug rim. 6 lug rims are designed for 3/4 ton pickups... our subies wont stress them that much.... even with 2 more holes drilled into them. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
