Look What I have, M5 wheels, need to fit hem at all cost!

[diegom6]

Dad's rims from his totalled e34 535i storage, I wanted to sell them but i got the idea to make them fit in my e30

I know I need e30 M3 parts, they are not common overhere, I mean almost no M3 tottaled here.

I heared from some dude that the e28 5 series hubs and parts can work and is addaptable.

COuld some one confirm me this?

Thanks



Edit: Need repaint, I have the 2 rears and the 2 fronts wheels

What are the measurements? Isn't the offset like 13mm? You can always make up for offsets over the recommended 24mm with spacers, but to go under is tough. Assuming they are pretty wide (8"?) they are gonna stick way out.

Rob, a spacer would just push them further out. So no spacer is not necessary.

Diego sorry can't help you on the hub data. My brain is toast at the moment. I am still jet lagged from doing the International date line twice in three days. I hate repeating days.

Those are the same wheels that Dave Adams had on his M-Tech cabrio. My all time favorites in fact. They will fit very well if you do a 5-lug swap, the only thing you will need is some hub-centering rings.

On the other hand, it would be a pain in the ass, send them to me. :D

Agreed - I was trying to say that but didn't do a good job. A wheel with ET30 or so can become ET25 with a 5mm space, but a ET13 wheel can only become an ET25 one if you theoretically shave off 11mm.

These are factory wheels so no hub centric rings are needed.

Thanks for that guys...I know Dave Cabrio E30, he was using them with out the metalic cover.

If the tires shock in the fenders, is not problem for me, I can mod the fender for the coorect fit.

My main problem is how to put a hub 5 lug centers with out spending much money, ultra bugged, so if someone can confirm me if the 5 e38 series can dot he job will be apprecitatted it
IMy uncle owns a e28, I will tak eit a look carefully and then see if is cappable to do the work in my e30

OH, was forgetting , the size I'm not so sure.. Thhhey are 17's of corse I think the back is 17x8 and the front are 17x7.5 or so...they are just the stock E34 M5 wheels

if you get them to fit TJ will be butt sore, but get them to fit because those wheels are sexy

oh! oK, yes I know who's TJ, anyway thanks for the extra explanation.

Josh, they are 17's you are right..dunno if they ever came in 18, but the samllest size was 17's and these ones are not Replicas as TJ rims, these are the Original BMW M5 E34 wheels :P

But my main questions doesn't get a answer yet...

[AdamF 88iS]

They are 17x8, et20.

There are 17x9s and et10s out there, but those are very rare. I'd bet he has the 17x8 et20s.

two of the for sure ara 17x8 but the front ones don't know really could be 17x7.5 since them are less wider or less big lip

[Jand3rson]

Damn, if the 16's look as amazing as they do on TJ's E30, I can't even imagine how badass they must look in 17" on an E30.
