dc2r 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, have found a set of wheels for a really good price. I have an E46 which has a centrebore size of 72.5mm. The wheels im looking at are 19 x8.5 +18p offset and 19x9.5 +25 offset. Am planning to stretch some tires on, I understand with the width and offset it will take abit of work to make them fit, which im prepared to do, camber/tire size, massaging/pumping and rolling the guards. My main question comes down to the centrebore size of these wheels which are 74.1mm. Will these work at all? or will I have problems with the wheels not sitting properly against the hub?? dont think the gap is large enough to be able to utelise centre balancing rings... Thoughts or opinions would be appreciated Edited August 20, 2012 by dc2r Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts or opinions would be appreciated you have to have then or you won't get a WOF, simple as that. Are then an aftermarket wheel or from another manufacturer e.g. Audi? if aftermarket, talk to their dealer in NZ and see if they can help you source hub centric rings, just dont tell them of course you already have the rims.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) 74.1mm = E39 CB. (the .1 extra is so you can fit them on...) Those rings should be easily available. Maybe try ring a mag shop... 72.5mm is the "older" CB, E34 E36 ect... The problem you'll have is they'll vibrate like a mofo.

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 You need hub centric rings. Most wheel places sell them including our sponsors. You place the rings into the hub centric bore of the wheel then sit them onto the wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
