Thanks @Grumpy for trying to find this info for me .Or better still put it on @Bozzy progress thread for him?
Mine are hub centric 20mm all round mate.Thanks @Grumpy for trying to find this info for me .
I don't really understand the techy stuff with off sets and all that. Been talking to Tony and I'm going for hubcentric spacers,20 mm rear and 12mm front all being well,same as his Z3 .

Thanks for your kind words.Sean,
LOVE this photo. That would make an awesome wall poster. Read through the majority of the thread to catch up. What an awesome job you've done with this build. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what you're going to do next and I'm inspired to get back to work on mines.
I asked that seller for a buy it now and he wanted £160, I took a gamble on the other set as they are in much better condition with 2 good p7s, luckily it paid offThere's a set of 108's 18" staggered on ebay now due to finish in 3 hours. There upto £160 but need tyres and a referb. Good buy for someone tho surely.
Cheers pal, first one I have ever split, the bolts where bloody tight and I really thought I would snap a few, will have to wait and see how the others go.Good thread this Sean, I've never seen a rim split.
Slowly does it.Cheers pal, first one I have ever split, the bolts where bloody tight and I really thought I would snap a few, will have to wait and see how the others go.
Cheers Mike, thats exactly what I did, the other wheels have had a good dose of WD and have been left to soak, there had been the usual reaction between steel and alloy, thats why they where so tight, I thought they would have had lock tight on them but no signs of it, I will need to get the torque settings for them from somewhere and source some new bolts.Heat them up Sean with an industrial hot air gun, that way should not damage paintwork. Use plenty of WD40 on each allan bolt. Hope you don't break any more.
Mike
Glad to hear it Grumpy!I've never seen a rim split.
Thanks Conrad, yes I will be clear coating them with a lecleur product that is designed to stick to almost anything, even glass apparently.Wow Sean, that's pretty impressive!!
Are you going to clear coat them?
Hi Sean the 108's are made by BBS and the correct bolts are titanium and are not cheap and looks as if they were supplied with thread lock applied at factory..Cheers Mike, thats exactly what I did, the other wheels have had a good dose of WD and have been left to soak, there had been the usual reaction between steel and alloy, thats why they where so tight, I thought they would have had lock tight on them but no signs of it, I will need to get the torque settings for them from somewhere and source some new bolts.
Thanks for that, I did some research last night and it now appears that they didn't have thread lock on them, I will be using it thoughHi Sean the 108's are made by BBS and the correct bolts are titanium and are not cheap and looks as if they were supplied with thread lock applied at factory..
Looks as if torque is 25 ft/lbs
