Just a thought on the BMW jig. The BMW hubs use wheel bolts no studs...so any wheel with a large enough center bore would just sit flat on that hub. Could throw a bolt/stud thru it and get close enough to have an idea on tire clearance? Would save me $$ by not having to mail you a wheel and save you time by not having to wait for me to get a wheel over to fedex. Besides...the rim I send you won't have a tire on it. Here are the width/offset of the wheels we ordered up for the cars: 15x6.5 et 35 Stock wheels on this car are 15x7 et 47 That worky? Dave |

Sadly no. I did put it in my car this weekend, drove it around a bit, pulled a motor/trans out of a Compact, drove the wheel home, went looking for a box in the garage, didn't find one, gave up and had a beer. Then came up with this brilliant way to avoid having to deal with said wheel shipping idea this afternoon. LOL Dave |

Lazy man's way: 2 big pieces of cardboard. place wheel on it , trace a circle. take out your shiv and make 6-7 slices up to pencil line. Remplace la roue sur le carton Bend cardboard down on top, V, fold up on bottom. ^ Tape it up. Works good. Have a beer while doing it.. All ya need is someplace for the address label.. I'll check wif ya in 5 minutes. John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!
