Ok this is another simple one.....

My existing alloys have 4 nuts... but all the decent after market ones have 5. How do i fit these after market ones?

As i sai, prob very simple answer but i have never wanted to fit new ones before.

Thanks,

Nick

You'd have to change your hubs/running gear to M3 running gear as these hubs are 5 stud.

I'm sure one of the other guys on here can tell you more on how to do it and how much it will cost etc.

not a simple or cheap solution though!

Either fit E30 M3 suspension/hubs or convert using E36/compact parts!

Nice set of Alpinas/Hartges would look nice on your car,you could maybe get a set of those(if you look hard enough)for the price of a set of new alloys!

Well once i'm happy with the engine (next few weeks), i was looking at the wheels, so i best try and track down the parts!

Would every 325 owner need to do this?
