Did you have to do anything to the bolt holes, I thought the holes are off a bit, something like .65(nothing a dremal cant fix). There use to be a sticky about this somewhere on one of the fourms saying not to use the bmw specs for the fbody.I like to know if this was bs or what cause I reallllllllllly want these now,you car looks awesome now by the way.

i had a really hard time finding a sockett that would fit down into the holes, i ended up scraping the paint off the inside of the hole with a sockett so i could turn the lug
