So I found some wheels that are 5x114.3 F17x8.5 offset 29 & R17x9.5 offset 32.

I am wondering if I can get them redrilled to 5x120 or would I be able to run an adapter that is 15mm front and rear?

I would stretch the tires. My fenders are rolled currently but not pulled. I have bc coils with camber plates and I also have UUC rear control arms in the rear.

:help

It sounds like lot of efford to fit something that is not for your car. IMO give it a pass and get something that has the right fitting and offset. Anything extra you put between your car and wheel is a hazard and should only be done as a last resort.

Stretching tires is only for looks and takes away the ability of the tire to move and do what it is ment to do.You will lose lot of traction if you do that and if you do have a flat your tire will come off the wheel and you are up for a new wheel as well.

At those sizes and offsets, redrill (inserted) for sure. It'll run you about $150 for the set.

So I got the wheels and they cant be redrilled. So I have to run adapters on them. Which is fine I just need to measure it out.

Why can't they be redrilled? Pictures? I would suggest talking to Memoryfab if you haven't already.

Ill get some pics Sunday when I'm at shop. But the rear isn't all flat it's hollow. And if I filled the holes in I would drill most of it back out cause the 2 patterns arnt off by much

Sounds like you're misunderstanding what inserting is. Do some more reading up on it... from what you describe, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

Doesn't look like there will be any problem with inserts. You may have to run a skinny, tuner style lug depending on the lug hole clearance of the face.
