Where Can I go To Change my PCD from 100 to 114.3?

[Crazecow]

Cause I am planning to change my rims and found that many rims are 114.3 instead of 100. Thus I am thinking of changing my PCD from 100 to 114.3. I read online that its possible by either drilling the hub (or something). If not use spacers. My is 5 bolt pattern thus I am told its not an issue to change PCD to spacers as long as number of bolts is the same.

 

Are there any WS that alters your PCD?

[Mkl22]

why bother?

 

do you trust them to drill the holes accurately?

 

I would rather not change. what you are asking is just for pure vanity sake but risk catastrophic failure of the hubs. Singapore Mechanics are one of the worst for a developed country. all say can be done, but when a problem occurs, they will say "its like that one".

Don't bother bro..this is one of those mods equivalent to converting drum to disk brake...any major op to wheels and brakes not worth la.

 

anyway, i see a lot of dual pcd rims around..

So those with 10 PCD rim can be used?

Yup not advisable to change especially for the 2 cars that i know tat have the 5X100 pcd are the wish and the base wrx. Get the dual pcd ones which have 10 holes. But there is a train of thought that more holes not as good quality but its def better for the resale :)

I would say the extra holes affect the integrity of the rim when dealing with high heat.

only everything is possible. But who will do it for ? and who will be responsible for this when some thing went wrong.

If everything to be done is at your own way and own risk any mech will be happy to help you.

as for the brother mention we have the worst Mech in the developed country . i can some yes to some of Mech here.

Because Business is very competitive , if you tell them anything you want (not need) they say NO they will lost the business.

Look at recent paper mentioned about Insurance claim could be rejected if is Illegal Mod.

so when this issue surfaced when come to accident claim? can we blame the Mech for not telling you is illegal

Had seen friend of mine mod his car PCD from 4 hole to 5 hole, and driving without any problem for 5 years some his car is Turbi charged.

But he is the peron never blame his Mech for any thing went wrong.

100 x 5 wheels somehow cheaper than 114.3 x 5 wheels leh..

 

subaru?

[Readonly]

funny reading all these other replies.

 

TS, can your car take spacers? say approx 20-25mm?

If your car can accept spacers, you can get go to Leong Seng and customize a set of conversion spacers

 

Its advisable that you bring your ride there for them to measure up.

You might also want to bring 1 piece of the rim that you are going to fit on your ride, if possible.

 

Because this will give them an idea of how much thickness your spacer will need to have your rims looking nicely flushed with the fenders.

 

hope this helps.

i think we cannot day that 8/10 hole rim is weaker then 4/5 holes rim.

 

if u compare 1 pcs of 5 hole cheapo rim from chn , and another pcs of japan ( wedsport ) 10 holes rim.

 

which 1 u think will break easier?

 

[Davidklt]

Dont do it..

[Jamesc]

Just buy 100 rims

 

Also some rims can take both 100 & 114.3

 

Easier to sell nect time

yes if you compare a 10 holes (tested and certified) is surely safer than those even only 4 hole self made hole rim (take your own risk)

is not just the number of holes also the thickness and layout (very technical).

Always remeber you can do anything as you like, just take your own responsibilty.

those mech up the are just follow your instruction.

BEST is narrow down your choice to market available wheel (reputable brand) and 100% peace of MIND

[Zuoom]

you will need something like this.

bolts on to the 5x100 stock location.

then, the spacer would have a 5x114.3 pcd.

 

do note the risk of running sub-standard spacers, and the added amount of nuts to tighten n check.

good quality spacers however are known to last for a long time, and people have use it for track purposes.

 

good luck, good spacers.

Please don't go for the drilling option. Premature stress failure may result.
