how to fit E36 wheels to E28

[Racer__X__Kidd]

so i want to buy my friends wheels off his E36 and put them on my E28 but i know theres like a 10mm offset difference or somethin so i was wondering how i can make this work.
peace

wheel spacers....but i wouldnt recomend it, E28s are hubcentric and things start to freak out with a 10mm spacer.

You can get hubcentric spacers though, and that'll work. People do this all the time. e28 cars are the exact same hubs as e30 M3 (they raided the parts bin for the e28 to make some stuff on the M3 work). And I know all that is needed to make e36 rims work on a e30 M3 is spacers. Get the right spacers for the right wheels and your good.

with a spacer as large as 10mm, you need to be careful, make sure to get lengthen bolts. Spacers are always weaker than just bolting a wheel onto the hub, so keep that in mind when driving.

so can they break or something causing me to loose control or what? because i really want these wheels but if its almost certain safety will be extremely compromised then screw it.

no they shouldnt break if you get strong spacers, but theoretically, the wheels will never be as secure compared to if you had the correct offset
