Hey,
I'm in the process of putting some 15" Tolimans on my bus...but having a hard time getting my head around what I need spacer, stud, nut etc. Hours of trawling through forums and I'm still not much wiser! Can you remember if you just put the spacers and conversions studs on yours? My ET is the same as yours (37), just the 15" version, not your 16". I thought the spacers were for bringing the ET down, but I understand an ET of 37 is well within limits? Many cheers, Aaron |

Yes mate, cup 1's. I know they say 52/55 is ideal but it's only a few mill difference or am I way off?

The studs were already there on mine, but I believe you just press them in or out ( or hammer them :) ). Good guide on Brickwerks website I think.

Pffff... no idea. Long gone now.
I'll have a scan back through the photos and see if I can work it out. |

BMW E46 OZ racing alloys 40ET, 7" wide on 15mm adaptors running 225/50 17 run flats part worn off our E60 520d on the front, new 225/50 17 on rear all 98 load rated so good for weight, Tyre size is cheap as all mid sized cars seem to fit them. Clears rear door no problem. machined hubs and 312mm discs will add about 8 mm to track but it looks ok
