    ACS type 1 3pc wheel build.

    I have ACS type 1 3 pc wheels. I was just wondering am I able to just buy a 35 hole with a wider lip option? OR would I have to buy a whole new barrel as well? Right now I have 17x8 et33 square 2" square set. I'm looking into getting the rears a 3" lip to make it staggered. I'm just a bit confused on which direction to go.

    91' Alpine white 318is
    92' E30 Alpine white Mtechnic
    97' E36 Alpine white M3/2/5

    Hi,

    I suggest you speak to specialist wheel builders who can tell you from experience what can and is possible to do. Drop in a line or call Paul and E Wheel Works in North Carolina - http://ewheelworks.com/ I have a set of wheels with him he'll be rebuilding and then sent to me here in the UK.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    I was wondering if I could just get bigger lips and put them
    on. I don't know if it'll work or not. I have 2" lips, wanting 2.5 up front and 3'.
    Or if it's more complicated than in assuming.
