Changing Stud Pattern of wheels

Postby Jebus » Mon Aug 07, 2006 7:35 pm

Quick question, how feasible is changing the stud pattern of wheels, and what rough cost would you be looking at?

The wheels are Simmons Vista, and theyre in a 4 X 140 stud pattern at the moment, there appears to be alot of meat around the mounting surface, just wondering if its do-able. Dont wanna know if you would do it or not, just if it can be done and rough price.

Thanks heaps.

Dont want adaptors, as it puts mega load on the suspension, and the wheels are already RWD offset so will be half a kilometre out of my guards.

Looks like it could be an option on those. I'm assuming you'd be going to a 4x114 stud pattern? If thats the case then you're only coming in about 13mm which there look to be plenty of room for in your situation. Take it to a machining or engineering place and ask what they could do it for you for.

Nah not meisters, if they made Meister S1's in 15" or smaller it would be rolling on them, but the last thing my car is having is 17" wheels.

I got these ones,
