e36 328 sport bbs rims

Post Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:16 pm

will these fit after carrying out a 5 stud conversion or will there be a need to modify arches ? The wheels in question are staggered, not sure what "J" they are.

Thanks

You will ideally want spacers to bring them out if you did the 5 stud conversion using E30 M3 parts, should fit ok if using E36 stuff.

Been doing some research, found some 4 - 5 stud adapters, less hassle than the conversion but is it safe?

E36 wheels are a suitable offset to work with spacers / adapters.

7.5 and 8.5 x 17 et41.

However I'm not keen on 4x100 to 5x120 adapters as there will always be one hole which overlaps and I've never seen a solution I would be totally happy with.

I had e36 328 staggered rims on my tourer with 20mm adapters, i had them for a year and a half with no issues at all. I have a thread on here somewhere. they did look the tits!! Vdub boys been using adapters for years!!

Can you get these adapters less than 20mm?

nope, not seen those before. certainly the best solution i've seen (other than two stage adapters which are going to be 30mm as a minimum) and would be reasonably happy with them on a road car.
