I have a couple questions.

Do you think these hubs can be safely redrilled 5x130 ? Do they have enough meat ?

Do you think a standard E30 disc can go over them ?


I'd like to run 5x130 hubs rear. I wanted custom hubs but since those can maybe be redrilled to 5x130 I'd only have to shim my calipers brackets 2.5mm each side and drill my discs too.

Very nice. With all the different posts in this thread I've gotten a bit confused. Were you able to retain your e-brake with this setup and if so was it difficult to make work?

Think thats scary to redrilled to 5x130, it only 1mm meat (see left one with blue line)
I ever redrilled my stock hub 5x120, and its tested fine on track and 20k miles (see right one with red line)




There is still possible to make 5x130 on your stock hub..
Here the reference

Yes, stock e30 disc can run with small modification on the area that will attach to welded + redrilled hub

Right !

I have 18mm adapters but I'd like thinner spacers to poke a little less.
