Re-Drilling Throwing Stars

[Stephen]

Maybe try some IX flares. Although i havent seen how they affect the inside of the fender, id imagine it means you could get away with big tires

So you're building a 450+ whp engine, yet aren't willing to spend the money on proper wheels/adpaters?

Typical of a R3V poster. I am sorry to hear they damaged your rims, fix em and sell them.

Seems like estimated whp numbers have grown alot recently.

How much do you want for your M systems?

Aside from what you might think, I really just like the look of the throwing stars and would like to fit them if I could. And if you read my previous post if I just couldnt get them to fit then i would sell them to get some wheels that would work for my setup. I just like the look of the throwing stars and wanted to keep that look for this car as well. Im not trying to be cheap, just trying to give the car my own piece of style.

They went up since friday when I took apart the ETA motor and found that piston #4 has a couple marks on the top of the piston from the timing belt letting go at some point in its life. No cracks in it, but I dont wanna chance it on a build and then end up doing the block anyways in a month after I get it going. So yes now, on top of porting the head and upping the turbo to a 60 trim, the block is now being built to a higher spec as well, which is why my est hp #'s have gone up.

I wouldn't recommend this, i did it and they are a major PITA to get to stay on, I'm constantly breaking mine off on hard turns and large bumps/ pot holes.

Take your wheels to a wheel repair/specialist, and ask if it would be safe to mill down the hub surface. It's not uncommon for people to shave them to achieve a higher offset... That will counter the adapters...

I have no idea if it can be done with those wheels though

Have you looked into getting the 4 lug reps?

[M5W]

Im looking into an E30 M3 5 lug setup.

^That's a great idea. The E30/E36 bastard kit from GC is also a good option.

You will love it. I swap wheels from my old e34 to my e30 all the time.
