Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Anyone know if it's possible to redrill a set of BBS CH from 112 to 120 pattern? And idea of cost? Ta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis91 114 Report post Posted June 14, 2014 I've had a set drilled from 112 -> 114.3, but we're talking a few mm and some wobble bolts. I'm not sure on your patterns though as it's a bit more of a jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Thats getting a bit far. Have done 114.3 to 120 with pressed in caps into the shank (proper way to do it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Mmm, did wonder if it was starting to push it. Bit of a bummer as the CH is one if my favourite wheels on the E36. Ah well, cheers Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted June 14, 2014 I had wondered this yesterday. Not for this particular wheel or stud pattern but just in general. Surely it would just rely on there being enough material at the 120mm pcd to safely cover the slotting. And the center bore size was rigjt or could be machined right. It would be wheel dependant? There's a set of Autostrada Modernas on tm cheap. Wrong pcd and offset which got me thinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boowhup 26 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 Could certain models of wheel have another set of holes drilled "in between" the existing, like the "multi fit" aftermarket rims? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted June 17, 2014 Suggest not welding. Studs are meant for holding the wheel onto the hub. The hub holds the main forces and he studs just make sure the hubs are aligned and held properly. If you slot correctly you increase the risk of bearing failure (different than your usual definition of bearing), however your studs should not experience that sort of loading to a point where it would make much of a difference. Slot and treat the edges to remove any potential cracks. Counter sink as required again avoiding knife edging and cracks and it should hold up to a lot bar extreme loads. Welding does all sorts of unquantifiable changes to the metal spreading even to the hub bearing surfaces so be careful there .. Hot sleeve the old stud holes maybe ..
