    New rims Style 5's filled and redrilled to 4x100 20mm spacers all around

      I really like the Rota grids, is it required to run a 10mm spacer to clear the brakes? It is a little much poke for me.

        I had to run spacers to clear the calipers.

            whats the consensus on the safety of redrilling these? The 16" style 5s are my favorite wheel for these cars, and since I havent dont the 5lug conversion, I always ruled them out. But now you gots me thinkin....

              Well its a lot better then running adapters ill tell you that. As long as you go to a reputable shop for the redrill and you know they did it right, you're good to go.

                  those style 5s look awesome but they need less spacer and 225 treadwidth at least.

                      Clean ass ride. You've nailed it on the wheel/tire combo, just leave it @ that. Instead of 20mm spcrs front&back, add more space to the rear 'cuz u see how the fronts poke way more than the rears. I've had that same issue, other than that, GOOD SHiET!:up:

                        MUCH better than the rotas. E38 Style 5's are the only wheels I'd consider ditching my euroweaves for.
                        Your car looks a lot cleaner without the yellow film, too. Now it's time for chrome kidneys.

                          Look good, Abby's old set? I'd downsize the front to a 10mm spacer and it would be great!

                              Where did you have them done? Did they add metal to make the center bore smaller?
