It can be done, I know that it is possible. Just need to know how.
M Coupe
7.5 x 17, et 41
9 x 17, et 8
E39 M5
8 x 18, et 20
9.5 x 18, et 22
So there's a couple of problems. The first is the offset of the front wheels. I'm assuming that the coupe in the picture used a set of replica M5 rims with an offset somewhere in the 40's. Next is the centerbore. 72.5mm for the M Coupe, 74mm for the E39 M5.
1) What are my options for replica M5 rims that are of decent quality? Sources?
2) What about my options for hubcentric spacers that will account for the centerbore differences?
Thanks,
John
