Hey guys alot of guys are doing hub swaps to 5x114.3 to fit better wheels and only way to have the rotors to fit is to drill out the current holes which is sketchy and time consuming. Can you guys get us rotors to fit the cobalts that are 5x114.3?

This would definitely help a lot of people to switch over.

just take a dremel with the small grinding cylinder to the inside of the stud bores. took about 10min a rotor. and since i only extended them outside, 5x110 is still snug

If you PM they will do it. They did mine when I did my swap.

Nathan just message them, Ethan just got his done by them. Kevin I can't remember, It's been a little while.

Nathan buy rotors from CED or wherever and find a machine shop near you to redrill the pcd. Not difficult. Not that expensive. Can be done right for reasonable money; a free dremel? You get what you pay for, you get nothing for nothing.

Im going to take the ones off my car and send them to mongo

Why not have Mongo do new rotors? Save on the shipping and frankly you will need new rotors anyway start with new, save money long term and profit. Mongo does the 5 x 114.3 redrill cheaper than anyone. And a great source of inexpensive wheel bearings from Timken.

Re-drilling to 5x114.3 will cost about $20 per rotor on top of the settled rotor price.

^^^sounds fair Nate. Thats what it should cost. No markup.

Ok cool, when I did the swap I just took a drill bit and widened the holes out. Cant remember what size I stopped at. Was following Josh's tips when I did it. Ill send a email to you guys now that I know you will do it.

yep theres nothing wrong wtih a re drill.... johns colemans are the only solution right now.... r1 apparently will re drill for a little extra fee as well.

only other thing you can do is like john said....... buy a 5x110 delco rotors and have a machinest re drill them. i run the colemans up front and re drilled delco rotors in the back. had a lot of track time this year on them no issues.

My rotors are a few years old, yet I have nothing wrong with them. No warpage. How do you check for warn rotors?

Anything else that should be looked at our replaced while im doing the swap?

1LSJ2NV

Yeah local shops here wont touch them lol They all said they dont want to be responsible. Atleast there is options now, last year I didnt have any haha. I will say it was sketchy doing it with a drill bit and having to slowly pour oil on the bit to keep it cool.

your not heavily tracking the car so i cant see there ever being an issue.

our track solstice ran re drilled hubs and redrilled rotors the past 2 seasons. we changed out the rotors but it was because of wear not because of the drilling failing.

Yeah the most abuse its seen is long trips, only AutoX'd a few times and did some mountain runs but nothing like extreme road racing. So far they have held up fine just from looking at them, Its been a few months since I took the wheels off and checked everything out.

I use a redrilled hub as a guide. Leave a couple studs in and bolt it on the rotor tight. Drill all 5 holes 15/32 and remove the hub. Then open them up to the same size as stock. Takes about 20 minutes for all 4 if you have a drill press

^^^ this, dremelling existing holes larger is fail. I have been 5 x 114.3 since Thanksgiving 2004.
