Wheel spacers with the correct pcd? Might stick out quite far.

5x120 rims can be re drilled through the existing holes down to 5x114.3

i had this done on a set of bboss for my magna, yes they made them in 5x114 but the commodore offset was better than the ones off the shelf.... it could cost you up to $50 per rim and most tyre shops can arrange it

and when they are fitted you can not tell at all

my rims dod over 30K and never had an issue on a heavy car driven hard

see pic they are 5x120 rims now fitted to a 5x114, you cant tell!

they machined out the stock holes then re drilled them and presed in the hardened metal rings,

the pics are the closest pics i have, but basically you could not tell the difference, no one knew.


but if the rims you have are a covered type, it''s much easier to get them redrilled, they basically just drill 5 new holes in them, quite a few big chrome rims you buy come that way
