I have 70 IRS Ghia with Discs up front and drums out back. Clearly the bolt pattern is 4x130mm. My question is can I have the rotors/drums drilled and tapped for 4x100 or 5x100. Or do I have to buy blank rotors/drums to do this? I am concerned with the integrity of the rotor/drum. My friend said it should be fine as long as they fill the other holes. Any ideas on how much this would cost?

Blanks is a better option but 4x100 and 5x100 fits inside the stock holes although with 5x100 most of the holes miss the 4 strengthening ribs

I agree with him, toplineparts.com charges 55 per rotor/drum to do this.
CIP1 some times has rotor/drums already in that pattern.

flyinglow94 in Las Vegas only charges $30 each to drill and tap your original components I think. Cool
