I kinda assumed he knew, but now that you mention it, he didn't mention anything about them did he I just assumed he wanted the 5x114 because they're cheaper.
Also I agree with everything skid said, I'm not a degreed engineer, but I will be in about 2 weeks

Re: 5x114 to 5x100
^ LOL. Have thought about why it's illegal? Did you read any of the previous posts? Let alone, look at the back of a 5x114 STi BBS wheel? They were manufactured with one bolt pattern in mind....

Re: 5x114 to 5x100
supposedly it ruins the structural integrity of the wheel. Even though these aluminum factory wheels are all cast so drilling a hole isn't really going to do much...it seems as though it is much more legit to do this on 4 lug wheels as you are not reusing any pre existing holes....seems shady and possibly off center to do it on a 5 lug

Re: 5x114 to 5x100
So what makes you say it's fine then?
I don't see why you'd be reusing holes on a 5 lug though, going 4-5 or 5-4 is pretty shady, but keeping with 5 he'd just be using the space in between bolt holes.
