Pics with adapters

When did style 5's ever come for an e36? I've never seen et41 version

Style 5s were available on the e36 M Tech coupe,but were more popular on the Euro e36 325is.

I've been reading 5-lug swap threads all day and my head hurts. Can anyone tell me what the offset ends up being if I use '96-'99 e36 M3 front pieces? Can I run an e39 style 5 or is it still too low offset? I have a full '98 m3 parts car I can swap everything from if that will make the 5's fit better than the spacers.

yes you can run style 5 on e36 5lug setup, but you will be hard pressed to get any decent tire on there. maybe 215/40/17 max. comes out to the same as running adapters.

Not worth the trouble to do the swap then since it's just my vert and not that concerned about the brakes. I'll save it for another car and use the adapters on this one.

That is alotta poke^

[e30lov]

Yeah they fit a lot better on my e36 haha. 9.5s low offsets and adapters don't really mix well on e30s

For some reason I like a little bit of poke on the front. Not so much on the rears.

42 draft design 18mm fronts, 20mm rears. Absolutely loving these adapters. The quality and craftsmanship cannot be beat.


My only issue now is realizing that something is tweaked on my car and my right front wheel sticks out further than my left front. Never knew this until I mounted these larger wheels.

I triple checked the adapters and its not them. Its not the wheels. I've got brand new control arms w/ bushings, new sway bar bushings and end links, new struts, new strut mounts, new tie rods w/ e36 steering rack.....this is not good.

Not sure what it could be. I know the car must have been hit in the front end at some point in its life as the lower rad support is bent in and the front bumper was definitely red at some point so I know it was replaced.

The only thing I am thinking now is that the entire subframe was pushed over towards the right side...:(

Measure the distance from the frame rail under the firewall to the inside of the wheel on both sides making sure your steering is straight. It is possible to get the fenders and hood aligned off to one side more than the other, this should help tell you if the car if off on the front or just sheet metal alignment issues.
