Is it even possible to drill a 4x100 into the 'meat' of the standard 4x130 drum/disc and not compromise strength?
What about drilling into the non-ribbed section? It's not reinforced, so how much of an issue will I have with running alot of torque through it?
Does anyone sell blanks that are pretty thick to allow us to drill whatever bolt pattern we want without having to be concerned about strength?

Sorry man, but that is just plain wrong.
Not trying to get int an argumant about it, but I hate to see all of these people get bad information.

dont give info unless its Fact or opinion

Wikipedia
The most common PCD values are 100 mm and 114.3 mm. This difference arises from the manufacturers' measurement convention - whether they are designing around metric values (100 mm) or imperial values (4.5 inches, i.e. 114.3 mm). |
Not to mention
5x100,108, 110, 112, 114.3, and 120
then Porsche is 5x130 -i think
But know that you can find Almost Any tuner wheel with a variety of lug patterns

i did this with mine and so have many others
works out well tapped for 12mm cos theres is actually more meat there than further out where the 130mm original holes are
abit difficult to press in studs tho cos the webbing is on an angle so the head wont bare down flush all the way around

Sorry. I did not mean that "most import vehicles use the 5x115 pattern". I was trying to say that on imports, rather than 5x114,3 it will be 5x115, and that there IS a difference in these two sizes. I should have been clearer.

So your saying 5x114.3 isn't found on any import, or just the ones I mentioned? |
Most of the imports use a 5x115 pattern and there IS a difference. Not enough to keep you from bolting on a set... Most cars that used 5x114.3 and 5x115s use hubs to center the wheel, but different sizes. A/C VW drums don't use a hub to center the wheel (rotors must have the vw hubs machined off) so you are relying on the lugs to center the wheel. It is advised to use the correct pattern in this case to avoid balance/vibration issues. The difference is an average of 14 thousandths per lug, which IMO is a lot. |

nope... all the imports are 5x114.3
It's actually the domestic cars that run the 5x115... late 80s early 90s GM and some newer Chrysler/Dodge stuff.
