ummm..spacers.

[nando]

probably machined out the centerbore. it's possible, but best left to a wheel shop with CNC equipment.

spacers and a lathe.

[golde30]

how about spacers that have a larger centerbore for the e30 hub, and a smaller centerbore for the wheels? wouldnt that save some money? gonna have to run a 20mm spacer anywayz, plenty of room.

[Jordan]

yeah, that would work. But it would have to be at least 12mm thick I think. Also, they would be custom spacers as no one would offer that.

doesnt look half bad on a blue e30.

yup. custom spacers run about $50/each. maybe a lil less for 20mm. i had a set of 40mm spacers made that converted my lug pattern from 4x114.4 et0 to 4x100 et40 for about $200. but that was YEARS ago, mite be cheaper nowadays.

I know that guy, he works at Road Show BMW in Memphis. He said that the center bore on those wheels is a little more than our 57.1mm, and that he can't find a centric ring to fit them, so they tend to vibrate at higher speeds (or atleast thats how it was about 2 months ago).

He also has an ETA with the 4.10 LSD :)
