Okay wheel experts...here is my issue.

Got some Mille Miglia MM11 Plus 16s mounted on my E34 (stock hub diameter = 72.56mm). The Miglias have a very large hub diameter measured at around 79.629mm (that is the mean after 10 trials for good measure). None of the usually hub centric ring dealers we all know of carry this size. I am probably left with no choice, but to get a local machine shop to make some for me.

Anyone deal with this before? I have searched and found no other helpless souls with this issue.

Thanks

The guy I got them from said he was going to put them on an E38 and that is what i thought they were ready for...I thought wrong. I purchased the hub rings for E34 - E38 conversion and come to find out, they are not right...should have done my homework.

E34s and E38s have the same hubs, I wonder what you got.

Did you try Discount Tire Direct? They have a large supply of rings.

You got scammed. Do you even know if the bolt pattern is correct?

Sorry, I meant E39 as opposed to E38s. They seem to bolt up just fine, but have a 15mm offset instead of 20mm which i hear is acceptable.
