Originally posted by AWDBOB View PostIMO adapters just don't look right up front, and you can't fit a proper tire most of the time. The only way to get it 100% is a fill/dill (or obviously E30 M3 suspension). 205/45s don't look right either, they don't have enough aspect ratio for my taste.
I used VR wheels.
Cost:
Wheels: $200
Shipping there: $80 (my UPS account)
Fill/Drill: $300
Shipping back: $120 (their flat rate)
Motorsport Hardware 10mm Front/15mm Rear Spacers, skinny wheel bolts and hubcentric rings: $150
Total: $850
8mm spacers required up front to clear brakes unless you're running a BBK with a thinner caliper. I went with 10mm because 8s weren't available in a hubcentric version.
Question here... I have fill and drill and I'm looking into getting 8MM spacers with extended bolts. I have hub centric rings, can I get "regular" spacers or would I need hubcentric spacers?

Its always best to get hubcentric if you can, especially if your current hubcentric ring wont be making contact with the wheel after an 8mm spacer.
If I recall I was running 5mm no problem with a plastic hubcentric ring.
I was told 5mm works but I would have to grind down the front brake calipers 2-3mm.

I sold them though, long story why.
