Ok besides getting a new set of rims I really like my Lowenhart LDR's on my mercedes E class. The lug pattern are 5 x 112 with hub size 66.56 with 38 offset. Lexus GS 5 X 114.3 hub size 60.06 with -/+ 38 offset. Any suggestion on how to make the rims fit? With the exception of using hubcentric rings. Would it be wise to just get the hole redrilled through existing holes to a bigger size or redrill next to the 5 x 112 pattern? And where do they do this and is it expensive?

It should be too expensive to redrill, give it 100 bucks tops. You might be able to do it yourself. Better test fit the wheels on with 2-3 lugs to make sure the wheel doesn't stick out of the fender. From my past experiences, e-class wheels or benz wheels on particular stick out a bit.

YOU MUST GET HUB RINGS, otherwise the wheels won't be centered and it will shake a lot!

i never ever recommend re-drill. get something that's for your car

Not even new holes? On the Lowenhart rims it only has 5 x 112 holes with enough room for new ones. And if make bigger holes from a 5 x 112 to 5 x114.3 what will be the problem?

I just had a set of GFG wheels off an s550 redrilled to fit my gs and made hubcentric rings. I had to get the backspacing on the rears milled down also. I put them on the car but need to adjust the suspension because the rears still dont tuck. I paid around 350 for everthing but it was done right. Ive had wheels drilled before and never had a problem. I will have pics up as soon.

I redrilled some wheels along time ago on my Vet. I used and abused them, drove speeds of 150mph plus and did not have any issues with them. Just have a shop do them.
