So there is a wealth of information out there on how to get 5x130 wheels and better quality axles and cv's for our cars.
I am well aware of the 911 hubs or drilled hubs or even adapter plates. Depending on your application, even drilled or 911 hubs need a spacer to fit the rim and tire correctly. So if I were to drill my hubs to 5x4-3/4 (chevy pattern), it would open my world up to literally hundreds of wheel and offset options. Has anyone else done this? does anyone sell these? Surely the racing crowd must use another wheel pattern as not to damage quality 911 rims, or to possibly save weight |

I am getting ready to order custom wheels for my wide body and initially got sticker shock when shopping around. When researching options as you are I came across companies that make adapters that sound like the ones you are after.
Have you seen these guys? https://www.adapterkings.com They make 5X130 to 5X4and 3/4 adapters... |
