where do all the hip youths buy 5x120 adapters these days? they don't seem to be in stock on the adaptec site..

[HerbReal]

When I ordered mine, I called and spoke with Jr. He seemed to know the BMW wheels and fitments to my application (e38 Style 5's to my E30). That's probably better than ordering online if you need something more specific.

[kronus]

well I know I need the thinnest ones available.. and a healthy roll ;)

[Cabriolet]

dont get any that are thinner than 18mm

What wheels were you planning on putting on your car? I assume its for your euro e30? (looks fantastic btw). I know the typical style 5 application for the said wheel combo was 18mm front and 20mm rear and "mild rolling" meaning, no pulling and you can roll the fender not past the dimples. hope that helps.

16x8 et25 rears, 16x7 et13 fronts

[Cabriolet]

make sure you measure a few times to see that the caliper will not contact the rim

[kronus]

i think with ~18mm spacers that won't be an issue.

[HerbReal]

You should be fine, see if you could go as low as 15mm on the fronts since your final offset will be 16x7 -5 on the front (with the 18mm spacer) may stick out too far.

[kronus]

there are no 15mm 5x120 adapters out there..

[canakami]

I think the lowest offset you can go without considerable poke is +5 (regarding that x7 in the front). Got camber plates?

[kronus]

yeah I've got camber plates. need to re-verify the wheel measurements, but mystikal suggests 195s on the front, which is wimpy :(

Someone should go check out that speedster just for giggles :rofl:

[canakami]

Unless you request otherwise that thread is very fitment/flush oriented. What's the point of running cool wheels if you're going to wrap them in rubber bands? I'm sure 195s would fit with that low offset and 3+ degrees of camber, but it would look silly (obviously just my opinion, don't get butthurt stance folks), not to mention the roads around here suck, you'd bend the lips in short order with them waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles tires.
