If its a really good deal maybe you can get correct lug pattern drilled for them. I personally wouldn't recommend it since it would put a lot of strain on parts that could be dangerous/fatal if they fail.

You can run adapters if it's that good of a deal.

It can be redrilled. Ask your local wheel repair shop about it.

they said i shouldn't do it.... but i am looking for some CH 013 BBS 18x8 bolt pattern 5-114 if anyone comes across some please PM me. and would it a bad idea just to go 18''s being that my sport came with 18''s?? i am hearing the ride is rough with 20'' and 19 tires are just as expensive, plus i would be able to leave this on all year round.

BBS forged alloys are excellent wheels. I might suggest the RG-R model for the G as they come in the right bolt pattern and center bore. Meanwhile, the 18" size is actually better for performance, as the lighter weight will aid acceleration, braking and fuel mileage.

Never seen CH's in 5x114. Do they make CH-R in 5x114? Because those are nice. The CH's are really heavy wheels lol. It's ridiculous.

If they are 18 x 8.5 they sound like wheels for an evo x.
My bbs are 18 x 8.5 they are super light idk, if they will fit the g.
They clear the front brake rotors are 13.8 with stock brembos.

Yes, there's a big difference in the way each wheel is built. The RG-R is a true forged wheel and is lighter, stronger and more expensive. The CH uses a aluminum casting and BBS technology called "flow forming" to help mold the wheel rim. Cheaper, but the CH can't offer the reduction in unsprung weight the RG-R does. You get what you pay for.
