Thanks guys

[XR_Lightning]

what do you mean by stud pattern redrilling?? altering the stud pattern of a wheel??

[Millaz88]

Yeh changing the stud pattern to fit other cars
There 14x8" 12 slotters not alloys

Wrong!

12 slotters come with alot of stud patterns (mainly ford & holden) and so you might be better off looking for a set with the necessary stud pattern?

Don't want flak guys just asking a question if anyone know a good place to go
They are for a drift corolla so need to drill them 4 x 114.3 they are of hq with perfect offset for the car just need the right holes put in to them

A diff shop that can redrill axles might be able to do it, doubt it tho. Better off getting the original steelies widened/offset changed.

yeah I wouldnt alter the stud pattern of a wheel by drilling, your taking your life into your own hands fitting a wheel that has been modded in that way, especially if there going on a drift car and will be subjected to much harsher driving conditions, compared to the street

does anyone know if brake rotors can be redrilled/studded to change stud pattern?

[AaronEF8]

I'm pretty sure every wheel repairer shop can do this, and it is a pretty common thing to do. I've seen quite a few steel wheels with enlarged holes get fixed.
They're only steel wheels, the original holes are just drilled into the wheel centre once they're built anyway.

You'll still have to get the spigot sizes right, and I can't imagine a Corolla having the same size as a Falcon. It might be easier to take the 12 slots in, get the centres cut out and get 14" Corolla centres welded into the 12 slot rims at the right offset. It wouldn't be much more expensive to do over re-drilling the wheels.

John - I don't think so, but it would pay to ring someone just to make sure.
I've heard a few stories of people having engineers cross-drill their brakes about 10 years ago, they cracked across the holes, some of them exploded.

Plus I've never seen a set of multi-fit brake rotors, which could be an indication it's a no-no.

[EFFalcon]

true, figured it was likely a stupid idea, but where else is there to ask stupid questions
stupid 10" brake rotors

[DJV8T5]

have you maybe considered a diff conversion to suit then?

[AaronEF8]

is this for bigger rear brakes?

[EFFalcon]

no.. fronts

don't give a **** at the end of the day 12 slotters a cheap and plentiful, the question is why you wan't to go this way, as it may be worth just pricing up new bands and getting them fitted to you centers, or, pottentially giving it a shot yourself but f your after the look of the 12 slots, you'll have to see, just promise me they don't overlap loosely, on the new holes e.g. make sure it can be done with meat, I'd help you more in brissy but don' know the go in melb.

centbore easily fixed, as per hundreds of alloys on various camry's/lexie.... etc. with a shim
