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?! :D

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

[Ollie]

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. :eyebrows

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

[SeanDub]

215/40

the 45 sucked, lifted the car

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?

how bout you do some research?

its not hard, figure out what "corvette" wheels you plan on running (width/diameter and offset) then figure out what "finished" offset you wanna run and get appropriate adapters... a little reading goes a long way

i know what i wan tto run with, im just asking to see if i need to locate someone whohave to make the adapters for me, or if there is some shop i can get something that wil work for me, and also cuirous about what SeanDub uses on his car, i guess he got 33mm in the rear from what i have read, but im not sure about the front end..

Like I said all of that depends on the width of the wheel an the offset, there are tons of adapters and spacers available online you will not need someone to custom fab you a set you just need to find out how big of an adapter you need and for that you need to go and measure your car or just guess ad go through trial an error like most of us do

your asking a question with little to no details about what wheels you wanna rub so how is anyone supposed to help you?

[boligrafo123]

You got something against blue wheels? :shifty

[Spiff]

most likely i will be getting sawblades, 8,5 and 9,5 both ET56 as they seems to be the most easy wheels to get in norway, i was thinking to get the adapters in front to end up with ET13 and in the rear im a bit more unsure, but i think that around ET 20-25 somewhere.

what is the spec on the wheels you are running?

[balleur]

This is what you need..
http://adaptitusa.com/5x120to5x120wheeladapter.aspx

1.30 in the rear will put you at +22
and 1.80 in the front to put you at +11

[Spiff]

great, thx!

[HOLES]

so fvcking jealous of these wheels and price paid for.
