well, you obviously have an S14. Yea, you can switch the hubs. If you wanna switch with me, that would be great!! the rear hubs switch between the S13 and S14, and the front, you might not want my S13, should probably get S14. But, hit me up on AIM sn vanssn240sx if you wanna talk about it, I have been looking for 5 lug hubs.

haha good one, trading 5 lug hubs for 4 :smash:

I wouldn't drill the wheels, might f up the structural integrity of the rim. I've seen it done though, but that was 4x100 to 4x114.3
