BMW wheels on a GM Car

[bingham72]

Has anyone ever used BMW wheels on a GM car? I've got my eye on a set but I wondered about fitment. They are SUPER CHEAP. I just want to know what to expect before I jump in it.
The bolt pattern is only .65 mm difference between the 2. Just looking for some opinions.

I have them on mine right now. I don't have any issues with them so far. BS and offset are good. I'm only using 17x8 with 245/45 on all fours to alleviate any rubbing.

Sweet! thanks,
they are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with offset Front 43 and Rear 37. Does that sound right?
translates to 6" bs for front
and 6.5" in the rear? does that sound right or should that be a negative offset?

I'd send a link but I don't want to reveal my find!

Mine had 18mm offset. I've seen anywhere from 13 to 23mm offset work. It just depends on the width and tire size.


Are they 43 and 37mm? offset? or BS in mm's?

Are they 43 and 37mm? offset? or BS in mm's?
it says offset. I'm assuming mm. These will be for a 72 vette as well and I'm guessing I'll need 1" spacers all around.

I'd probably call the dealer and confirm the BS, just to be on the safe sided. It'd suck to get a new set of wheels in only to have them rub.
