Andre3000 55 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Does anyone know if BBS LM come in 4 stud to fit the e30 non M3? My options at the moment is to get them custom made or a stud conversion. Any knowledge on stud conversions would be appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1039 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 nope... the only BBS LM 4 stud/lug was done for Mini in japan. My conversion (bottom of the page) and others anwsers to this. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....=lug+conversion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Check out the thread above - conversion to 5 stud is expensive (E30 M3 front struts or cobble together e36 struts and e36 M3 Evo lower arms, with E30 M3 or e36 318ti rear trailing arms, plus some other stuff). Conversion spacers are possible, but probably not for 4x100 to 5x100 (or 5x anything - I wouldn't trust them), plus even if they are you may have very little offset to work with on an E30 (meaning no dish on the LMs), and they'll need a cert. Google tells me there are BBS LM's out there in 4 stud, but they are ridiculously expensive. Having said what I did above about offset, the ones for sale in 4x100 seem to be 40 offset so would need a spacer on an E30. http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=%22bbs+lm%22+%224x100%22 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 FYI: can't get spacers made to go from 4x100 to 5x120.Unless you use a 2 piece spacer which will add atlest 50mm to the offset.And they sell for ~$300 a pair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 If you're desperate, BBS LM's come in 4x114.3 in Japan, but like Cam said probably not much dish because of 30-40 offset. Plus side is they're cheap-ish cos the Jap boys don't really rate them that highly. So cost should be below 5x120 rims inc 4x100-114 spacers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andre3000 55 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the advice guys, thats put a few things to rest. Might settle for some RS's until i get the funds to do the conversion. To me replicas are cheating and id never be able to look at the car in the same way with "fake" wheels. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
