BenEvans 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 just a question about the swap ( didnt wana start a new post ).. the rims on my e30 now are both 4x100 and 5x120 and im running 5mm spacers in the rear but would prefer them to be out a touch more.. Can anyone tell me how much extra width the e36 318ti rear subframe gives, if any? as i thought if it does give a decent amount of extra width i would just run the 5 stud on the back and leave the front 4 stud for now as they sit nicely already.

pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 roughly 10 or 15mm wider in the back each side iirc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your saying you have a multi stud wheel in 4x100/5x120? This can't be right... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
