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.

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...:(
