Probably bought them in either 5x100 or 5x114.3 and had them re-drilled to 5x108. Some people run adapters, as well, but not sure how easy that would be with the wider wheels

It doesnt look like a fill and drill, if it was, they did a clean job with the wheel face. Looking at the pictures, the lug holes seem evenly spaced and machined. I wouldnt think it was an adapter either, most would be around 1" thick and he says the offset is 45, adding 25mm from a spacer would mean they'd have to be like an et70 originally no cars run that. Nor does it look like he's poking from running a spacer with that wheel size/offset. Technically Enkei doesnt list my RPF1's on their site as being available in 5x108 and 18x8.5 but they do exist thanks to Oakos ordering batches.

@deesiel678 did you order a custom set? Fill and drill? Spacer? Hub/rotor redrill? inquiring minds want to know your secrets!

To redrill, you don't have to fill the face and then redrill the holes (although, filling and drilling is a process that can be used). Shops can "extend" the lug hole to the new diameter and then use an insert at the lug seat.

This is a wheel that has been redrilled with an insert: https://goo.gl/images/KGCCZa.

How did you get those ts-10s to fit? They do not come in 5x108...

These were originally 5x100, redrilled to 5x108. I bought them from Aspire Motoring; they charged $25 per wheel to do the redrill. They were done with inserts, not fill and drill, and they did a really good job IMO. My only *minor* complaint/concern is that the lug cutout is raw now (paint removed from the redrill). Hard to tell since the wheel is silver also.

Here's a better look:

They turned out pretty nice! If they are raw as in bare metal, you might be able to find a touch up paint thats close enough to keep the elements from getting to the metal and less noticeable.

Do you have any rubbing with the 9.5s?
Click to expand...
No rubbing. My car is lowered about an inch or so from stock; if it were slammed I'd think it would rub (but I'm not sure).

Strut clearance is tight but it clears. These 255/35s leave some lip exposed. :shocked:

Plenty of shock clearance in the rear

I planning on mounting some 265/35's within the next few weeks.

You've lowered it as well? Interesting. I was originally going for some 19x9.5s, but what with rubbing potential, ride quality and the extra weight of the wheels, I've decided to go for 18x9.5 to go in my flared arches once I get them fitted. Not as good looking as 19s, but far more practical in all respects.

Great looking wheels and tyres. Not so hot on the ultra low suspension. It'd be a nightmare on our roads.

EDIT: Must've been something wrong on the forum for a mo, 'cause I wasn't getting any pics!
