I have a set of Billet Specialties 18X8 4.5 BS 5 on 4.75. Does anyone know if those can be re-drilled to 5 on 5? Thanks Dan

I wouldn't recommend re-drilling ... but you could always run adapters.

The "center bore" of the wheels would have to be opened up also. I suggest selling them and buying what you want. That would be the safetest route.
