So im looking into getting some 16x7 clk wheels to make a drag package.. I know there's been a lot of talk about them recently, but was just wondering what is exactly need to make them work.. I've heard stuff about adapters and spacers, but was getting a little bit confused.. Thanks for you help

Talk to chawkins2001, he has a set for sale

You need spacers (15-20mm) and re-drill the bolt holes.

I believe someone already has dibs on them. But I will talk to him.

Is re drilling the bolt holes an easy job, or would someone have to do it for me?

You can do it yourself. You just need to widen the holes to fit the E55 studs.

From what I understand you need the adapters so that they mount to the hub and then you mount the rim to the adapter. This is done so you don't have to use longer studs.


Here is my question for those with CCW's do the CCW'S mount directly to the hub without the use of adapters? If yes is the answer, then what are the specs on the CCW'S? 16x? offset?

Chawkins could probably answer that soon, as he just bought a set of CCWs..

chawkins2001

Yes I Did. But I bought them off a c63 Guy, so I will need spacers to make them fit. AMGFAN and blackbenz and Jody all have ccw 16's correctly made for the e55, ask them what the offset is.

I just use longer studs on mine. Work ok.

that set is crazy high. i have bought 2 sets of 4 for 150$ each. kept 2 and sold the others. they are located in salvage yards all over the country.

Yea ive got another lead on just one wheel.. I figure If i spend $100 per wheel thats a pretty good deal..

chawkins2001

I paid $230 shipped or so for mine a while back off eBay. They were clean and straight. If you can wait till next Sunday, I will know if redbulljunky wants mine or not. They will have the new Hoosiers on too.
