Default Redrilling Wheels 5x114 to 5x120

So i have wheels on the way 5x114.3
Work Vsxx Brombacher Edition

These wheels are super aggressive so wheel adapters are not an option since it will add at least another 20mm all around. Im looking to get them redrilled, just wondering what are the Cons of doing this? I heard if done right then it will be no problem, also if the wheels have center caps the holes can be filled as well. anyone have experience with redrilling wheels? Ive done a bunch of research on google, but just curious as what you guys would say. And no i'd prefer not to sell these, i'd rather make them fit, especially since these wheels are pretty limited.

Im trying to redrill them to 5x120.

these wheels will be for daily driving no tracking or anything extreme.

6mm is too far to re-drill.

3mm is the max.

you can redrill 5x112 into 5x114.3 or 5x115, but unfortunately its almost impossible to go back and forth from 5x120 because its just too different.

done correctly it is safe. make sure you get a copy of the insurance carried by whoever does the work, if they won't give it to you or write out anything then don't trust them.
