Can you change the hole diameter on the wheel for the lugs - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Like a drill. Has this been done. I was talking to a dealer. He told me this was an option i had. They didn't have my rims specs in stock. I never heard of this being done before. I am considering them doing it for me. But is it safe. What if they drill it wrong and I found out when I am dead in a ditch after my wheels fall apart from uneven distributed stress or something.

??? drill new holes normal/sound?

yes it can definitely be done, we have workshops here that can do it, they will just redrill the wheels according to the spec you want, or if the wheels are multistuds (eg. 5x112 & 5x120), and you want to convert them to 5x114.3, they will fill up all the existing holes and redrill again later to 5x114.3

but i wouldnt recommend doing that though, by drilling the wheels you're messing with the wheels' structure and who knows whats gonna happen, especially with those taiwan wheels

imo better go for wheels that can fit your car perfectly.

If they don't have your rims specs in stock, go to a different shop... 5x114.3 is a common bolt pattern

Don't mess with the integrity of the wheel... they've been fatigue tested, and by drilling, you ruin it

A competent machine shop can do that.

I wouldn't recommend it though.

OK, then shiould i by a wheel that doesnt fit. But, I buy the wheel adapters so it can fit my car.

I would not use adapters or drill holes. Get the right size. Adapters/spacers put more strain on your bolt(s), hub(s)and suspension than the car was designed to handle. Also, I think Camry's wheels are hubcentric. I am not 100% sure so you need to verifty this, but I think spacers will cause issues because you will be lug centric on a spacer / adapter. .

I wish I could find the right size for the wheel I want. But no one has them anywhere.

been there!!! I love MOMO wheels. Had them on 1 of my BMWs. They were awesome!! Wanted them on another car and could not get them :-( . . .
good luck.

if you really2 want those wheels, maybe adapters are your best option. A friend used to have custom adapters like 10cm thick for his widebody Accord Euro (TSX for you guys), that car was his daily and everythings fine. but i obviously you dont need to get adapters that thick for your car, so yeah i reckon adapters are your best option
