    5lug ix on rc090's

    Finally completed the install a few days ago. Been working on this project on and off for a few years now and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

    Wheels are stock rc090 17x8 et20 that I refinished
    Tires are 205/40.
    Front offset is the same as stock and the rear is a few mil's wider.
    280x25 front brakes and 276x19 vented rears.
    Custom adapted camber/caster plates up front and still trying to design something to adjust the rears.
    Sitting on GC coils and Koni race.

    Next plans are to swap in a manual transmission. I have everything I need except for flywheel and clutch kit. So as soon as I have those I should have it swapped within a day.

    Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

    C&C welcome

    Front fitment is pretty good

    What is the recipe for the swap? Have another thread with the build?
    Mine is on the backburner right now, but this gets me a little excited to get back at it!

      This particular setup uses e30m3 rotors and e28 535 calipers in the front with a custom adapter. Hubs are from an e36 non m.

      Rears are 323ti hubs, e36 328 convertible rotors and calipers again with a custom adapter.

        Amazing work, I am very impressed how you got the 5lug setup to work with the front axles.

          I'm curious about the front axle setup too. Did you use rear hubs or something?

                No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                    I'm considering making some kits and selling them if there's enough interest
