Hi guys
I'm slightly perplexed- I bought a set of RH toplines that came off an F Reg cabbie to fit my H Reg cabbie, except the stud diameters are different- is this the case?
Thanks

E30 is 4x100 with 57.1 centre bore.
Sounds strange.

Ok, bolts. That's for the pedants. The point being, there's a stud mismatch. Any advice?

What exactly is the mismatch? The bolt/stud spacing between the cars or the wheels and your car?

Have you got proof the wheels came off an E30 (i.e, did you seem them fitted), or did the seller just say "off an H reg"
Because all E30s should have exactly the same bolt pattern, unless the owner has done a 5-bolt swap to the entire setup.

Only two bolts align: the other two are out. Only a photo of them being on his e30. All very confusing!
I thought the diameter may have changed. Mine's the H Reg, his was the F Reg.

All E30's are 4X100, except M3, which is 5Xsomething...

From the info I would say the wheels aren't 4x100. I've fitted some 4x98 wheels to an E30, they looked to fit ok but I wouldn't drive it very far!
It would be difficult to tell from a photo
Sounds like these aren't E30 wheels
maybe 4x108??

The stud pattern should be stamped on the rim somewhere.
