maybe you can squeeze 5x120 if you don't put one lugnut one? I mean, it's only a 0.7mm of a difference (which probably is NOT good but might fit).

There was an issue of I think RevSpeed couple years ago where they put I think Z3 wheels on a FD somehow....

Default Did anyone else notice....
Hey did anyone else notice in the first pic the front has a big opening and in the rest of the pictures it has the slats? Anyways, not my cup of tea, but to each his own.

Wheels and front has to go. Rims looks like flowers , no lip , BMW look . Front looks like something from Oettinger for a VW, another .

I don't think you can get an 18"x5" rim or even want to unless you use a 90mm spacer lol.
