Regamaster on a e36 m3.

[BMWmusic]

Im looking to invest in a set of regas. The wheel specs are 17x8 17x9 with a +35 and +38 offset. I know the hub bore of the regas are 67 and the bolt pattern is 5x114.3. I going to get them re-drilled but my problem is the bore of these rims because they're too small for the m3.

Can the regas bore get enlarged to fit? And are there other ways to get these rims to fit without messing about with the suspension?

So you want to make a wheel fit that is not made for your car. I would not recommend drilling out the center bore and redrilling the wheels. You are taking material away from the wheel and lowering the load capacity of the wheels. This could be dangerous.

adapter?

[eggspeed1]

i believe someones selling adapters right now in the wheel and tire fs section for 200

If I run adapters do I have to adjust my suspension? I read people running regas with adapters on their m3 have a more dramatic negative camber.

[riffman12]

an adapter pushes your wheel out in the same way a spacer does

so you need to see how thick the adapter is, and what the offset of the wheels are

then see if it will fit

Ok. Thanks bro.

Redrilling>adaptors anyday. It's cheaper, safer, and lighter.

Don't redrill the bolt patter and the center bore of the wheels. You are lightening the load capacity of the wheels.

I've run multiple sets of redrilled wheels, never had any problems. My wheel machinist guarantees his work and he has never had a customer with redrilled wheel fail in his lifetime. On the other hand I've seen plenty of adaptor problems.
