    A plate full of nachos exists for the dining pleasure of two individuals. The "you get one, and then I get" one rule is the general concensus between friends. While said nachos cool, queso y tortilla create a physical bond. In fact, this bond is spread cross-platter. So attempting to retrieve one chip sometimes results in all chips. Therefore, "If all the nachos come up with one chip pull, then it is one nacho."

      If you have the wheels, you can measure the center hole directly with a ruler-73mm would be just under 3". If you haven't bought them yet, check www.18racing.com , they list a lot of the centerbores.

          SHIT...shitshitshit...15x7 et40 hb 67.1...arrrrrgh! 15mm would put them down to et25, and the hub bore is too large.

            I'm getting cornfuzzled about this shoulder thing. With the above info, would the shoulder be smaller/larger than the hub bore of 67.1 on the wheel? HELP!

              Wouldnt work. Cus the spacer would be bigger than the rim on the center bore. If it was smaller, you could just get an adapter ring. Thats what I did. I got the hubcentric 15mm spacers, and got some 15 dollar adapter rings to go from 57.1 to 73. Works perfectly

                  Just so I get this straight, the 73mm shoulder would need to be turned to 67.1 for the hub bore on my rotas, correct? If so, I would most definately still be in on this to help you fellers out in lowering the cost. Lemme know.

                    Yeah, that would be what you need to do. Have a friend that's a machinist?

                        Sorry to drag this out. I probably won't be able to afford to do this until Oct 27, and the wait time to get them is about 27 days-so we are looking at an earliest delivery time near the end of November. If that is acceptable to both of you gentlemen, then let me know here and I will get more details from the vendor (payment and shipping details) and PM you with the info. I hope we can make this work!

                          I don't mind the wait. Prolly will only mount these for a couple of days, and then remove them for winter. Wide tires suck in the snow. Just keep me posted.

                                OK...Q-ship has been kind enough to let me and my machinist "Buddy" take over this group buy. As of now, I have 16 units, 4 cars, in production. Should only take a few weeks for the finished product that will be tested on my car personally. All fitament is for the e30. The only info I need from anyone interested is the shoulder bore, i.e., 67.1 for my honda offset rotas, and 73 for Q-ship's selection. $45 a piece plus shipping. Once I get my set I'll be weighing them for shipping costs. Anyone interested should get back to me at this post, or pm me. These are 15mm spacers. You're on your own for lug bolts.
