hello , just bought a set of toplines (7x7.5j) come off an e36 and have been powdercoated in black and refurbed recently. I thought it would be simple enough to get them onto an e30 :o:

any suggestions or ideas...

Then you might have counted the number of bolts holding the wheel to the car before buying some that wont fit without replacing half your suspension.

I already have certificates 8)


On a more helpful note, the dub boys use hubcentric adaptor/spacers to fit Porsche wheels to Golf's ect, maybe you could look into those and see if they do something that would suit?

You would have to watch the total offset though, E30's like around ET25.
