    Default Whats the hub bore on the E34?

    Well I just so happen to be holding a hubcentric ring for putting E39 wheels on my E34, and it says diameter 74.1-72.6.

    EDIT: double check with someone else which is your hub bore..

    Default Whats the hub bore on the E34?

    I searched but kept coming up with different answers. I am needing to make a custom hub-centric wheel spacer for my car. What is the correct bore on an E34? 71.4? 72? Thanks guys.

    I have a set of ATP wheels that also need rings. Gotta try to get rid of the dreaded shimmy. (Yup, already replaced upper and lower control arms with the recommended Lemforder parts.) I only get the shimmy with my 17" ATP's, not with the basketweaves.

    Anyway, I need to measure the bore of the wheel, and get some rings. Cannot locate ANY information on these wheels...kind of an odd off brand or something. What is your source for the rings? Are there a variety of standard sizes, or might I possibly be looking at custom made? Any custom makers out there? Thanks in advance!!!

    I am doing something completely different and using a GM Camaro wheel on my BMW - I just need to know the hub size on the E34. Again people are saying 71.4 and 72.6.... which is it
