We were able to remove the broken piece.

now im left with the question of "is it safe to run my style 5's on these adapters or not"

no shop in the area is willing to install wheels on 5-lug adapters which sketched my dad, who was willing to pay to install them, cause he owed me some money on something I had bought for our Volvo.

lol we went to all the reputable shops, who didn't wanna touch 4-to-5 lug adapters, and even the really ghetto/sketch shop in deep east oakland wouldn't touch 'em.

what do you guys think?

[golde30]

its safe, i ran on 4-5 lug adapters for almost 2 years in my 318is. i also ran 40mm adapters back in the 90's on my 280zxt. no problems on either, other than the adapters getting seized onto the hubs. use anti-seize on the threads and yer good.


also, why are you paying to have wheels put onto a car???

Doing an e36 rack swap.does it matter which hole to put the bolt through? (The bolts that hold the rack to the tabs.) Also ATF or power steering fluid?

[golde30]

ATF, what do you mean does it matter which hole, i dont recall there being more than one pair of holes...also do you have the spacers for the rack, the e36 rack has smaller mounting tab.

There is two holes where the nut goes idk it's hard to explain. Like where the bolt goes through to the top hole, there are two different holes. And yes I have the spacers.

[golde30]

LOL, WTF i still dont get it.

[oliver.r]

That's a audience watching Sina put a wheel on his car during the BBQ, very intertaining.

better was Mark sitting on his car to make it hellaflush

[freeride53]

hahahaha pop the wheel i was sweating.

no the reason why we went was because i over torqued a bolt and snapped it. and then like i mentioned, since i had bought some stuff for the family volvo on my dime, my dad wanted to pay to get it done, which i had no problem with.

but right now, im at a crossroads between selling the style 5's + tires or trying to mount them, which i am getting lots of flak about. also their tires might be too big, and since i dont currently have the $$$ for fresh tires with lower profile, that may be the reason why I would sell them on.

[golde30]

what size are the tires, and how low is the car?

[bernzpeed]

For those who swapped to 24v and used e30 m3 harness cover, did u cut off these studs?
