Do u know the lug stud size??I wanna get another set but not from BMW

Depends on the rim width, offset and the size of the center of wheel. Stick a lug through and see how much thread sticks out the back of wheel. Someone else can chime in but I don't run anything less than 3/4" of threads.

All depends on the wheel.

If you can get 5 full turns out of the lugs then you should be fine.
