Is it possible to convert to a 5X114 bolt pattern? And if so how much would i be looking at?

around 80 dollar per wheel with adapters...but i would get really nice ones made from billet because you don't want your wheels breaking off while driving..i've seen and heard of it happen all the time.

hmmm so adapters would space out the wheels as well? I had a hard time having the h&r spacers w/ extended bolts put on and don't want to go through it again.
Is there any way to just change the whole assembly? Kind of like a type-r or si lug conversion?

what was so hard with putting the h&r spacers/studs on?

i wouldnt change the bolt pattern if i were u. i thought about doing this a while back, and it looks to be a real hassle. the adapters that you'll be getting always acts as spacer, and will push your wheel out a lot. is your going widebody, it wont be bad, but if not, your wheels will stick out A LOT. you probably got to get wheels with a pretty high offset for it to look right with the adapter.

Kics Japan makes 15mm spacers/adapters for our cars. I was planning on getting a set so taht i can use VOlks for my celica. I got some Kics for my 240, VERY high quality(Made in Japan). Its recommended that you get hubcentric rings with the spacers. It'll run about 125 or so for a pair. ALso 15mm is just about .75in which is not alot.

well, the rims i wanted had an offset of 35 and was 5x114.5. 18x7.5 with the spacers, the offset would be around 20.

yeah the rims i have now came off a wrx so they're 48+. I think H&R sent me the wrong front spacers cause the shop had to bore out the middle to have them fit flush on the hub. And they also had a problem w/ installing the extended studs in the front. Now the front passenger side makes like a ticking noise when i brake.

Anyways, most of the rims i want come in 5X114. 15mm doesnt sound that bad but i wonder how they would fit on the extended studs. I'd probably have to put the stock ones back on again?
