Nothing went well last night. Stuck rotor set screws, rusted hardware. The works.

Finally came out and I had time to soak it in spray nine.



Pile of 4 lug shit.



All assembled and ready to go back in.



Thats it for now.

Are the 16" e38 style 5's commonly used with the e36 five lug set-ups? This was another wheel I was looking for but the e60 wheels and the OZ's kinda fell in my lap. Any input would be awesome.

5's wont work on the e36 suspension. the offset on those wheels are too low.

As it is, the guys that are doing the redrill on those wheels to 4x100 are having the front wheels come out pretty far out. with e36 suspension you'll be past the fenders.

Correct me if im wrong anybody? i dont like to think im always right.

Should have the rear trailing arms in tonight so I can get a good idea of how the rears will fit. Pics will follow!

i think you can only get away with those wheels if you get the e30 m3 suspension.

I have heard this. Since I have the OZ's as back-up I am going to make an effort to fit them while I'm fooling around with the suspension anyway. The car will be getting taken apart and painted this winter so rolling/ pulling is not out of the question at this point.

Yes I know I could search the 5lug threads but there is alot of conflicting info regarding low offset wheels.

I'm hoping my fuzzy math works out and I can end up using them.

To all that were asking the wheels are actually OE BMW wheels from an E60.

17x8 et20

style 144

I have a back-up set of OZ ultraleggerras just in case the low offset kills my plans. If I end up having to super stretch the tires or something I'm probably just going to use the e36 sized OZ's with a proper tire.
