|
|
Does anyone have any experience with 7-series (E38) replica wheels and adding adjusters for a different size hub bore?
I know the E38 has a 72.5mm center bore, but the wheels aren't fitting correctly. How can you tell what size of adjuster is needed? If the car is taken to say American Tire, will they know exactly what is needed to make the wheel fit?
Thanks in advance,
Rob |

Any chance you have an E39 5 series wheel? Those have a hub size of 74.0mm. Perhaps you need some hubcentric rings? I think tirerack.com sells them. (I have had no personal experience with rings or tirerack...)
