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....

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.

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