Default Re-drilling bolt pattern..help!!

Ok fellas, I did try the search button, but i didnt really find anything (maybe i didnt search right ).

My question is, is it possible to re drill the lug pattern on rims and how much would it cost? i ask this because my friend wants to sell me some rims and i can get a very good deal off him. I think the pattern is 5x100 or 12 cant remember, but yea, any help and tips would be appreciated, thanks everyone

as far as I know yes you can. Unless its a absolutely unpassable deal just forget it and look for proper bolt pattern. Make sure whoever does it has a computer to do it right..then again im no expert..ROMINI?

It's not a good idea to re-drill a wheel because it compromises the strength and integrity of the wheel. But if you do decide to go through with it, the bolt pattern for Lexus cars is 5x114.3.
