Matt - how much to make my headlights into 3R whilst my slave cylinder gets fixed at some point this winter?

I believe it is many pennies!..

Parts around £1650, new wiring for lights, labor and paint.... I think it would be at least £2500 fitted. its not a quick job to do right.

I'll sack that idea then. Not that bothered and would never get that money back!

Hmm the second from bottow are perfect,7043 yummy..

Hmm they all seem to have 5 studs though ...i often wonder if anybody found a 5 stud replacement hub, it sseems a standard Ford/Jaguar bearing, so i suppose there must be a 5 stud hub to fit from ford.
Only £39 for a new hub, it may actually work out cheaper and easier than getting bespoke alloys made.

Check out the US hubs....

5 stud.....

What about BMW hubs?

BMW bearing fit, if spline fits.....

Thousand of rims available!!!!

Ultima runs ford granada hubs which are the ford 5 stud... almost no wheels available in the correct size/offset so wheels are around 2k plus tyres.

BMW might be closer offsets and some bmws run wider rears to front so possible...

either way you need new brake bells on front at around £250 and a lot more for the rears!

Bells are easy to reholed and machined on the center bore.

Some wheel spacers are multi hole (simoni racing) , why not do it same with brake bells! :-)

pretty sure the wheel center for BMW is smaller than ford... you cant re-hole for that Im afraid... you could of cause fit a spacer but Im never keen on that!

3 Series E46 = PCD 5x120, centre bore 72.5mm and M12x1.5 bolt thread. ET 30-47
Noble = 8x18 10x18 /// 4x108. 63.4 c.bore et23/30

Central bore and holes problem are solved... now spline problem!

[andygtt]

Interesting!.... Btw Porsche 996/997 ang boxster hubs also fit the bearing!

[key750]

I think spline is the problem... I don't find draws in the web about Ford, BMW or Porke spline.

I have porsche hubs and the splines do not match ford ones as I tried... Im not taking any of my BMW's apart to find out if they fit as I already have 3 sets of wheels for the noble lol

[key750]
