      Call and get estimates to have them welded and redrilled.

      That should help you decide.

        That's up to you I would say. If you have some type of use for them go for it.

                fuck you and your shitty knockoff wheels.

                Cam: adapters are kinda wack. Stephen is running them and his wheels poke out way too far. For $250 getting them filled and drilled would probably be way worth it for legit borbets.

                  This is completely unnecessary.

                      They are FWD rims so the ETs are more then likely way off for just a drill and mounts. So he would need a spacer for sure.
                      But your saying a 25mm adapter is worse then a 25mm spacer?
                      VW crew have been rolling on spacers for years and years now. I dont think I have ever read any where once of someone having a serious issue with them unless installed wrong.

                        Spacers and adapters are 2 different animals, really... It'd probably be easier to redrill your hubs and get a hubcentric spacer.

                          4x114.3 will not need to be welded, just redrilled with a set of 4x100 holes. you can get multi-lug wheels with both patterns.

                          whether to get them depends heavily on what the offset is, IMO.

                            Whats the specs? and my wheels do not sit out too far.


                            My guess is they are the exact same specs as mine, and ive already dealt with that headache

                              Thanks Matt!

                              Either way Im just trying to help.... for a couple hundred extra you can get a wheel that will be a DIRECT fit for your car and they will be brand new with 4" polished lips on the back and 3" on the fronts with the right offsets for the e30.

                              For the few hundred extra personally I think the best thing to do is to get ones that are ready to go because in the end you will end up spending almost as much to make em fit RIGHT.

                              Thanks,
