i currently have a set of wheels that the center bore is too small, i will obviously need this opening up to 72.1mm for the e30 fitment, does anyone have any experiance on this?

thanks rob

E30 is 57.1mm

It can be done but the centre bore must be drilled dead centre.

Trust me its 57.1mm.

That site has also got the offset wrong,states 15-20 when correct offset for a 7j rim is ET24
