4x98 wheels-wobble bolts or fill+drill?

[Roysneon]

I found a set of BBS RX in 4x98 bolt pattern at a decent price, what could I do to be able to run these on my 4x100 E30? Anything practical or realistic?

4x98?? What the fuck are those even made to go on?

Fiat/Lancia lol

Maserati Bi Turbo.

Wobble bolts will be the eaiest and cheapest way to run them.
I ran 5x100 wheels on my 5x98 Alfa using wobble bolts.

IIRC there is a guy on here running 4x98 Bi Turbo wheels and he is using wobble bolts.

Boxdriver86 uses them on his bi turbo wheels.

^ that guy.

Well great, now I have to buy them.

I would buy them, then re-sell them to a " Fiat guy" for a big profit, then buy whatever you really want. I just sold my Fiat Spider after owning it for 7 years. A cool set of wheels with 4x98 pattern are very hard to find hence you can get big money selling on Fiat site.

The bolt pattern difference is so minor that you could just redrill and have steel inserts pressed in.

I have 5x114.3 redrilled to 5x112 done this way and you couldn't tell it was done.

+1. Only cost about $20 per wheel around here.

Hi. I am actually using studs and wobble nuts, but close enough. The mounting face was too deep on the et0 Biturbo wheels so I had to switch it up.

Good news is that most people running 4x98 on 4x100 with wobble bolts have no problems whatsoever. There are even folks running regular lugs on the same setup although it sounds silly to me.

Just make sure you get a hubcentric ring to bring the bore to 57.1 otherwise you will have vibration.

hahaha Aren't you glad for asking? Not sure if they're 17x7 or 17x8, but they look pretty mint. I guess you need another e30 to mount them on :grin:

ive done 5x112 to 5x114.3 as well. no redrill though, just wobble bolts, no issues whatsoever as long as the hub is the right size or you have hubcentric rings
