      They will fit better with a tame height as the slight -camber will help :)

      I am running /50 and it works with a bit of a roll so you should be a bit better off with a /45

        I found a set of style 5's for $300 in great condition with caps.

        Does this seem in line with the market?

        Obviously I'd need to have them re-drilled.

          That's what the set I got was listed for on Craigslist (with centercaps, center caps, and lugs) before I got him down to $240 but these came with brand new Michelins for his E38 I sold for $200 on Craigslist. Also if you've looked at the thread, I'd say a re-drill as farm from the "obvious" choice.

              That is such a good looking car. Beyond the lip and side skirts, I have been trying to figure out what it is I like about your car so much. The stance of my car vs. your car is very similar, but I think there are two important differences.

              1. You see to have better fitment in the rear - I probably need to add a 3mm spacer to bring me out just a bit
              2. My wheels are a painted gray and yours are definitely not.

              Your car looks great!

                        The one thing holding me back from adapters is that they cost more than the damn wheels themselves... What did you guys pay for redrill/fill and where did you get them done? Doesn't seem like there's any shops in New England that perform this service.

                          ^ In for the answer. RimPRO said no way. I'm still looking for a shop to fill my drilled style 4's.

                            Adapters are the best solution IMO better fit and safer

                              There is a shop in Pittsburg that will drill and fill. As well as several in California.

                              Most shops will say no way, and others will drill with no fill.

                              I gave up and sold mine. For the hassle/cost, you can get a set of 4x100s that fit 100%.

                                The white 4 door may look better with white rockers or body color skirts.
