    putting adapters is an easy fix to go 5 lug. They bolt right up. What you want to consider is the offset. Thinnest adapters i believe is 18mm. So depending on the starting offset on the 5 lug wheels, you may be able to run them.

      I like the Draft 42 adapter 18mm front 20mm rear is a nice set up. I will be making a purchase soon and run style 5 (1 peice 16") fit looks nice on our cars. You can find them in retail classified section (i think) and get some studs from "kaliboy".

        Basically you need 5x120 wheels that are at least 40-50mm offset, right? With an 18mm adapter they'd be close to the recommended 20-25mm offset that E30's work best with I think. :)

          Somewhat. Unless you like them to poke out a bit or sit flush
