Corvette multi-piece wheels. Need help from e36 stance-gods.

[Logan]

Hey all, I just bought some wheels that should look SLICK on my e36.

They are some old multi-piece enkei's.

17x9.5

et56

I guess I need adapters since the hub bore is different?

Also, what offset do I need to have the lips sit just outside the fenders?

Seandub where are you?!

Trying to find pics of them now...

[Logan]

Here they are:

Not sure on fitment stuff, but I'm pretty sure you'll need 5x114(?) to 5x120 adapters, which should solve your hub bore problem as well. Wheels are win!

[Logan]

Corvette are 5x120.7 or something like that.

Just not sure on what offset! e36 is not my thing yet..

I appreciate it man!

[Stephen]

cant you just use wobble bolts and some hub rings if need be?

[SeanDub]

Just measure to figure out how big of a spacer to run. it just depends on what you're looking for

[J.Owen]

wont even need to. GM (corvette) is 5x120.65. Since your BMW is 5x120 you should be able to squeeze by based on the slight variance on the wheels. If your using spacers you might not need to worry about the hub bore since you just need to make sure the spacers have the right bore. If they are thick enough it will clear the hub anyway.

[Logan]

Seandub, what was your final offset on your sawblades?

[Logan]

If you don't mind that is.

n/m found it.

I hope you don't mid me using your pics. If so, PM me.

if thats a non staggered stet-up some 33mm adapters and a 215/40-17 along with an aggresive drop will set you up nice

since this ^^ is the look your after.. this is what your car will look like...

no need to be secretive about wheel set-ups were all here to help

Damn those are sick especially for the price. what a steal i woulda bought those in a heart beat.

[M.Burroughs]

Much better wheel option than the blue ones.

Sweet, that about what I'm looking for. I think I will go with 17x9.5 et20 for a bit more poke. Still a toss up between 215/45 and 215/40 though.

I know I was pretty stoked. Going to make the 350 mile round trip on Monday.

Just had to wait for the right ones.

If anyone can identify these they get 3 cool points. They look a bit like Gotti's.

215/40

the 45 sucked, lifted the car

[Spiff]

hey there, im considering to get some corvette wheels for my E36, do i have to get adapters for this custom made? how big is the adapters you run on your car SeanDub?
