Wheel pcd adjustment

Hey people, I've not posted in ages due to having a massive issue with smoke from my exhaust (sorted now though) when I bought the car I got some new wheels and got the rear ones first right fitments right pcd etc. Then found out the manufacturer had stopped production of the wheels so grabbed the last pair (almost) suitable for the front. Trouble is the pcd is 114.3 I don't like the idea of the adapters as it would throw the offset out. Is it possible (and advisable) to have the holes machined out to 120 the wheels have plenty of meat in them. But I'm just wondering if they would still be structurally sound. Thanks in advance

Possible? Almost certainly. Advisable? Nope.

Food for thought, personally i don’t like the concept. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...xe2oVTh5EHCUbM

Doesn’t sound like a good idea to me!

Yeah I thought as much, was just after a second (and third) opinion. Think now the best option is get some custom stainless spacers made, that way they can be thinner than aluminium ones and go with wheel studs and nuts in place of the bolts, should keep a decent amount of strength and hopefully only add about 15mm or so. Thanks people

Don't rule out something like zinc plated EN24T steel - way stronger than the usual grades of stainless
