The ant rattle clip stops your brake pads from rattling. The is the goldish clip that you can see through the spokes of your wheels. It is attached to the caliper in the two holes. If your looking through the wheel its the clip directly faceing you on the caliper. The centering rings are only 1.5mm thick. They can be had at tirerack.com . They cost $3.00 each. If these are the 17" e39 bbs style wheels with the lugs exposed (style 42 I think) I have the same wheel only 18". They will look killers. Mine does. Let me know what you want to do. If you consider 18" wheels I might sell two of mine and get you a great deal on the other two. Retail is $685 each You can have mine plus two new ones for $525each plus shipping. They are 2 weeks old with less than 150 miles. The 20mm offset will not work with a brembo big brake kit. Hope this helps

NO!! a factory e39 wheel 8" inch wide is usually a 20mm offset. No spacer required only mod you need to do is to modify the anti rattle clip. This was covered a few weeks ago on the board. What is left of those post are at the very bottom of the postings. Hope this helps

Also, do I need any sort of special hub centric ring due the different bore sizes between the E30 M3 wheels and the E39 wheels? I was checking the archives, and read that I would need these rings to fit on the wheels. Where can I get these?
