Default Can I change my lug pattern?

So I am looking for something different on my 4th gen F-body wheel wise. I have found some aftermarket wheels I like a lot but their lug pattern is 5X114. A bit far off from the factory lug pattern of 5X120.65. I know that there are some wheels out there that will fit even if they are not exact but I believe the difference here is too great.

So I ask the question, can I change my lug pattern? If so how?

Anything's possible but frankly, the cost to do that would be similar, if not more than simply ordering some custom 3-piece wheels that were made to fit your car...

Oh, I didn't realize it was an expensive ordeal. What is involved exactly with it? How much does it cost? Some facts to back up your statement?

Spacer/adapters would work but if you wanted wheels with any width, you'd have to find some in the 65+mm offset range

Otherwise, new or redrilled axles for the rear... Im not sure how you'd modify the front hubs but I would think they could be redrilled too... if not, custom ones could be ordered. Dont forget, you'll need a new spare too
