Hi all, ive recently aquired a set of what i believe to be BMW BBS cross spoke comp.II 42 split rims from a Z3 to fit on my e36 328I convertible. i understand that i may need to roll my rear arches more to make them fit, but upon test fitting the rims i notice they squeak alot as the car rolls.
Part numbers are 1094373 7.5J ET41 front / 1094374 8.5J ET41 rear
I assumed this problem is likely to be loose rim bolts. The wheels are 7.5J / 8.5J staggered fit and i assume someone has had a go at refurbing them as two wheels have had the centres mixed up.
so ive decided to separate all the wheels and reseat the centres and re-torque up all the rim bolts, but heres the problem...
ive got all 19 bolts out of the first rim but cant separate the centre, i understand they may be bonded.
Can anyone give me any insight into the best method of separating them as ive suddenly become a wuss and im affraid of hurting them. lol :confused
also if they are bonded i assume ill have to rebond them using something, any suggestions on what to use?
