Why bother with 5 lug conversion....

Skewed logic and facts are completely different. You are dangerous and should not be permitted to share what you believe to be smart or common knowledge.
Drive a car and pull the e brake, less braking force, same weight transfer and a locked up un controllable rear end that brakes proportionally .
Myth busted. Move on.

OEM wheels, aftermarket wheels, forged wheels, billet wheels... it doesn't ******* matter, they're all subject to fractures or defects from racing conditions all the way down to daily driving conditions... steel and aluminum are not indestructible. When you drill out the wheels the way it was done in the op, you've compromised the structural integrity of the wheel at the most important part of the wheel, where it mounts to the hub (despite what your hack job obsessed brain wants to think).
Oh look, here's an indestructible forged wheel...

People bust your ***** because you're a clown, plain and simple. You have no theories, or testing... all you have is moronic ideas that you think are okay to be applied to the real world, where jeopardize the lives of innocent men, women and children all for the sake of thinking outside the box.

Thousands of wheels get cracked every day. For many differant reasons. Yes you are "compromising" the stength vs. only having one bolt patern in the wheel. Good news is it has been proven hundreds of thousands of times that it doesn't cause an excessive weekening that it can't be done. That is why it is done so often. Identicaly as the wheels in the OP. With only a very small amount of meat between the lugs on 1-2 of the lugs.
I do listen, people who keep fighting with me aren't listening. By the pictures posted with 99.9% certainty I can assure you that there is the same amount of material between the two lugs per wheel in question. It isn't much but it is the same tiny amount left on millions of wheels produced every day. Do I need to repeat it again
Identicaly to thousands of wheels made every day, it isn't the only time a tiny bit of material has been left between lug holes on truck wheels!
