Default Can I get rid of this poke

I bought a set of Forgeline sp3p 20x9/10 from a guy and I LOVE the wheels. The problem is they were 5x120 and i figured i could get some adapters and just call it a day. Once everything is bolted up i seen i may have a fitment issue because of the 1 inch adapter
What do you guys think i should do? could a major pull/roll fix the poke

^^^^^ OR you can have the wheels re-drilled to 5x114.

I recall hearing that re-drilling wasn't safe but that may have just been someones opinion
im lowered an inch and so far no rub but i would like to drop some more once its more "flush"

oh yea i completely forgot,,,,you dont even need to redrill

just buy "wobble lug nuts" and they are perfectly fine

there are many people that have 5x120 on a 5x114.3 without even using wobble nuts but its not safe , so dont do it.

u can get a set of wobble nuts off ebay for cheaper then your adapters were.

personally though i like the poke and id rather roll/pull and keep them as is.

Wow, thats more poke than my setup. Thats going to need a fairly heavy pull...or widebody. Have you measure the amount of poke from the face of the wheel/tire to the fender?

redrilling is the safest way. They install a new steel insert.

I would go with redrill. All they do is redrill the same holes to make them a different slight bolt pattern. Redrill is your best bet instead of a major pull.

2" pull gonna look like bacon and ruin your fenders in the end. I would redrill or use wobble notes as mentioned above. That way you can achieve a normal offset and not look like a 1985 Isuzu Trooper.
