          This is the adapter I used. You need to go from a female bubble flare to a male inverted flare.
          P.O.S 1989 325is - aka Project Sh*tbox

          Project Shitbox - Restomod and other stuff - soon to be 328is

            From what I've seen the adapter should be M10 Male Inverted Flare to M10 Female Bubble Flare. I think these will work. https://www.amazon.com/Metric-Bubble.../dp/B006HI5Y1Y

                What was the original offset?

                  Ah fronts are like 38 or 36 can't remember. But flat face spoke design on dished wheel is always gonna have horrible brake clearance anyway.

                  I also have a set of 15x7 +15 p1 rep things which clear the brakes with no spacers by miles

                        No, take it to a machine shop and have them properly bore out the hub on the brake rotor 1 mm.
