No problem Nubodi.

I only know as I bought custom spigot rings in the past as I put Camaro Z28 wheels onto a BMW E36 which had widened arches (this is because the GM wheels usually have a backspacing of about 3.75" whereas the BMW offset is usually only around 38mm, hence pushing the wheels out of the arches by another 2" or so - do your own measurements though as there are a lot of aftermarket sizes). Could be handy for filling out Kobra arches maybe (if needed that is)!

For those who don't know: a lot of BMW pcds are 5x120 which is very close to the GM chevy/pontiac/jag wheels of 5x120.65 (you shouldn't even need wobble bolts, just make ensure you tighten all five by hand BEFORE tightening up with an airgun or wheel brace!). Post'95 RRs also have a 5x120 pcd (be careful with some of these as the LR centrebore can be smaller so you could need them milled out to the BMW centrebore of 72.6). Lots of variety for the BMW based kits!
