Does BMW still use lug bolts? Or have they converted all of their cars to studs now?

Yeah, those are the Rondell #72's....made by Hamann. You can get them on ebay for like $800 + shipping for a set. Also....you can buy replacement wheel center caps shown below...so you dont have to sport the Beamer logo.



The place you can get wheel adapter/spacers from is:

Good luck!!

Doesnt matter...the 1" that the spacer adds is going to make those offsets effectively equal -10 or something and that wont work.

why wouldnt it work? theres people on here with wide wheels and low offsets, it might take some parts/work, but pretty much anything can fit.

They'd work just as well as any bolt on spacer that goes from 5x114.3 to 5x114.3, except the would go from 5x120 to 5x114.3, meaning the holes on the spacer would be slightly further out of center than the lugs would be. It's not like these go from 5x120 to 4x114.3 and an entire bolt wouldnt be used. H&R sells "Porsche wheel adapters" that do the same thing......and are almost $200 a pair. I know the H&R's have a hubcentric ring, and I doubt these do...but they still would work assuming you installed them correctly.

offset is what matters most. if they have a big positive offset, then there's no problem pushing them out and custom maching some wheel adaptors to do the trick.

HOWEVER, if the offset is too low, then there is no way they will fit because they will already be flush or sticking out, so the wheel adaptor will push it even FURTHER outwards. Wheel adaptors minimum thickness is somewhere around 20mm.. thats a fucking THICK adaptor.

not worth it...

BMW's are RWD so of course they will have a RWD off-set...

and they are prety wide as well at 8.5...

if they were the right bolt pattern they would be wicked, but you are going to have to spend another $300 or so on good wheel adapters, and even then you will have rubbing, especially if you put a serious tire on there..
