There seems to not be as many DYI folks in this community as there have been in any of my other vehicles (Supra, SC300, GS350, Acura (NSX or GSR)). I am not sure if people just don't post/upload vids and DYI like we do in the other forums or not, but again, this is my reasoning for this post.

your correct there. Not too many gearhead wrenches in here as the bmw forums either. About to take my new R50 hubs to the machine shop and get the 4 lugs welded in and smoothed out, and they are redrilling and tapping 5x112 holes for my 2017 10 spoke mini rims. Got a new hub sleeve 1" to compensate for the larger diameter hub on the rim. Best way to go for the new 5 lug bolt pattern. But if you have to use spacer adapters, go for it. I have not once seen a personal issue with them when installed properly. Hey, you can ever get them welded permanently to your hub for a more safe feeling, lol.
