GM Wheels on E90 335

e90austin · 08-18-2016, 08:32 PM

I'm terrible with math and numbers, and don't understand wheel specs.

I've got an oppertunity to pick up some weld racing wheels that were designed to fit a F-body camaro, gto, etc.

The claimed bolt pattern is 5x120

A search returns F-Body owners running OEM bmw wheels on there cars with little to no issues.

My question is, how can I reverse that? If I have to spend the money I will, but used racing wheels are so much cheaper.

Bolt pattern is not enough to go on. You need to know the offset and the size.

We'll need to know the wheel size, width, offset, and center bore size to provide advice on fitment.

center bore on Camaro's are 67. bmw is 72.5 so you might need adapters.

If the center bore is smaller, you could machine it to a larger bmw diameter.

At that point you might as well ask yourself if it's just easier and cheaper to buy wheels designed for the car.
