Re-Drilling for different bolt pattern

Hey fellaz, has anybody out there had a set of hubs redrilled for a different bolt pattern before? Im lookin around for some wheels and there isnt really anything outh there catching my eye with a 5-110 bolt pattern. 5-115 is a different story though. Any suggestions??

Hub is thinner where it would be re-drilled. Has been discussed before and conclusion I believe was "don't do it"

I redrilled mine using a hubcentric drill guide I had made. Been running them for a year with no problem. Drag racing and road race. The fronts are the same thickness all the way around and the rears are plenty thick to redrill. They just roll anyways

You want 5x114.3 which is the same as the Mustang. Tons of wheels for that size. Im running my stock TC hubs right now redrilled to 5x114.3

This allows you to switch back to stock bolt pattern if you want
