There is no benefit going to a 5 lug set-up, except fo the ligher wallet, except maybe for the possibility of using a 13" front BBK, which is obviously not needed. Keep your money, get the 4 bolt ARC-8 wheels. Install your 300mm BBK. It's a no brainer.

Sure, you can install front e36M3 and rear 318ti suspension, but the brakes will be mismatched. Stock e36 325/318 is not better than stock e30. e30 M3 swap is $1800 in parts. Just not worth it.

There is one reason to go 5 lug that I see and it's that wheels this size 17 x 8 or 17 x 9, are readily available vs having to get in on Group Buys or wheels that have limited quantities and would be hard to replace.

Other than that, there is no benefit.

Lee, is this the 300mm kit on your car?? What exactly is your setup?

[Massive Lee]

I don't want to polute Eddy's thread so check your PMs.

Wow...

Hi there! New to this board! Those rims are nice!!!

They look better than the ASA AR1s...
I think I just found my next set of wheels.

I know there's a few people here who are in need to get rid of these wheels.... I think rneedham and possibly bimmerman.

Unfortunately, you're right. I'll be looking to sell mine soon unless some magical financial fairy bestows a generous gift upon my wallet. I really like these wheels, but sometimes things happen. Nothing against the wheels though!

The more I look at your new car, the more I hate you lol.....
