e38 style fives with adapters

[CB-M3]

Yes 42draft designs is making them in 18mm. It's $400 for a set which is hefty. You could fill and redrill for cheaper.

^ yes, slow e34 where are the pics?

Let me know how fitment is on with the 18mm adapters. What tire size you using?

They are gonna make them in 18mm?

Corrected. I meant to you say he has +5mm Front and Rear Offset when using the adapters.

^offset is not a unit of measurement

I thought 205 would be a square set-up but it does have a vary slight stretch...nothing to stance-y though.

Fitment update will come...

Thanks. I'm still on the fence about filling and re-drilling. Will using the 18mm adapter clear the brakes? You only have 5mm offset left. Are you going to roll/pull your fenders? I want to see if you have rubbing issues. How much were the adapters?

delson0 anymore picture of the rear fitment?

This looks fantastic. What offset are your style fives? I'm assuming this is with a 5mm adapter up front?

I have filled and drilled style 5's at et23 and a 5mm adapter up front, but it looks like the fronts are poked out and the rears are perfectly placed.

He is running 4>5lug adapters(what this thread is supposed to be about). Since he put +5/+0 Im assuming these are his final offsets front/rear with the adapters. Which means he has 18mm ones in front and 23mm ones in the rear.

So, if you ran the same thickness spacers and tires, you will achieve that stance.

bump waiting to see what slow e34's outcome is with the 20mm adapters.

so the question is you have to roll the fenders regardless if you use adapters or fill/re-drill because of the offset?

On a fill n drill you may need to run 8-10m spacers due to caliper clearance. Adapters will be 18-20mm minimum. So no need for a roll with a fill n drill and 10mm or less. may need a roll depending on early or late model, drop, and tire selection.
