WHEEL QUESTION

I want to know if anyone here is using the 5x120 BMW bolt pattern on their wheels.I know it is the the wrong pattern by .65mm.I have heard of people running them and want to if there are any major issues with them.

I don't think anyone currently has them, but I have seen a few cars with them, and they don't require much from what I have heard

I personally don't tink think that a lille more than 1/2 a mm will make much of a difference.might get an old bmw wheel to see how it fits.Never thought of it before until my brother said some thing about it.Kinda felt like an idiot :banghead:

technically, they arent even metric. theyre 5x4.75", which translates to 5x120.65 mm.

i can tell you it will work. sheila has the speedy envys, which are 5x120. hp evos are 5x120 as well and you see em on a lot.

Although I dont condone jacking some ones wheels if you think you can get away with it more power to ya man. Thanks for the help,there are so many wheels I see on ebay and other place with that pattern and its so close.I want a set of RUFF split 5 spokes with the black center and polished deep dish lip.When I get the car painted it will be black again with cobalt blue candy ghost stripes.As soon as I get 15 post I will post some links to rhe wheels I want.
