crazylong127 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 im not sure if dodge 6 lug is right, i think its dodge and ford that have 6x4.5" patterns you want 6x5.5". it'll be chevy/toyota/nissan that fit. anyways i was able to fit 15x8's with streched 205/65r15 tires, no lift with cut fenders.heres a pic of my re-drilled wheels ha get these puppies goin http://gainesville.craigslist.org/pts/656459785.html havent measured them yet. if they are 6x4.5 how possible would it be to just weld up the holes real good and drill 4 new ones in the correct spots?

nw_david Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 well that is possible, but the 6x5.5 pattern has two lug holes line up so the redrilling is super easy. so its possible but it will be alot more work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 havent measured them yet. if they are 6x4.5 how possible would it be to just weld up the holes real good and drill 4 new ones in the correct spots? you'd be moving all 6 lugs. they'd have to be centered, and they'd have to be balanced. means big $$$ to a machine shop. and, 31s are enormous for a subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylong127 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 you'd be moving all 6 lugs. they'd have to be centered, and they'd have to be balanced. means big $$$ to a machine shop. and, 31s are enormous for a subaru yeah i know 31's are big i won't be using them. i just wanted the wheels and the tires came with them. i don't think it would be that hard. weld the holes that in them now then drill the 4 holes in the correct spots and i would enlarge the center hole to match the subaru one. and they would have to be balanced anyway when i get the new tires on there. was also thinking cut the center part out of one of the 13's and use it as a templet on the 15's??? i have an extra wheel so if it didn't work i would still be good. any ideas on that?

Scott in Bellingham Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 if your going to redrill 6 bolt rims make sure they hav flat spots where the new holes will be drilled some rims have bends and bumps in the way of drilling, they should be like this one smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
