Lol it's not so much that I think it's "good" it just happens to be what I have lying around. Also reduces spare parts between my cars.Originally Posted by Josh
Only a BMW guy would think 5x120 is a good bolt pattern to choose

to this point I have considered changing the threads on my oil filter receptacle so I can use the same filter on my truck and delorean. The filters are otherwise identical, I have to look at the part numbers to differentiate.

Since I'm already using a leaf transmission, might just make sense to go with the 5x114.3 leaf hubs. Might make sorting out the axles easier.

Id talk to Jacob Graham since he has done the Leaf swap already.

Im mostly copying his design. I got the motor mount drawings from him. Unless he's changed it, I don't plan on doing what he did for his axles though.

I have book-marked this thread to follow your progress, Josh. I have, like so many others here, spent countless hours looking for the perfect set of 4x100 wheels but I have yet to find anything that fit my criterion (and is not discontinued etc). I stumbled across two interesting prospects at one point but both of those companies were overseas and never responded. Converting to 5x4.5 would open up a ton more possibilities.
Keep this thread updated please, Josh!

I would think you could machine the stock hubs with a step and make an adapter with the new bolt pattern that would not create an offset (move wheel to far out).
