Do they fit? I have a chance on some BMW BBS rims real cheap, but do they fit onto a Camaro/S10?

5 x 120 = 5 x 4.75?

Does the center fit?

Some do some don't

Look at the hub diameter listed in here and compare to the wheels diameter.

The Beyern Mesh wheels I am buying will fit.

Crap. That is the wrong guide.

Camaro is 70.5mm

I had BMW wheels on My Camaro before I parted it. The PO drove it at speed but I wouldn't-the fit was close but not quite right. If you can get wobble lugs you should be OK.

I know this is almost a year old thread but i'm looking into picking up a 1st gen s10 and am very interested in this. I'm looking to lower it 3" all around and was wondering if anyone can help me with which if any BMW wheels would fit, as I'm kinda lost with all the offset/backspacing stuff. Also can anyone learn me wobble bolts, can i run them with factory studs? Will they adapt the chevy s10 bolt pattern close enough that i can run BMW wheels? Am i better off going with adapters? I'm looking to get a good size wheel under this truck (19 or 20 inch), any additional info would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

5x120? That mean I could run some Acura RL wheels on my Vette? Since my vette wheels are 17x9.5 +56 and the RL's are 17x8 +50, I could run some snow tires/all seasons on it in the winter.

I know the poke/stretch/stance crowd likes to put vette sawblades on their Bimmers

Seen that one. 17x9.5" wheel with a 225/45/17 tire on it. That is just wrong.

Yeah, but that's with MASSIVE adapters.

In reply to AutoXR:

dang, that looks like dave binnie's car, only in white. IIRC he had a very similar wheel -- E39 sport package circa 1997?

So from what I gathered if I use arp studs and adapters I shouldn't have a problem. But do I still need hubcentric rings?

Add in the cost and likely isn't cheap anymore.

The issue is less what's cheap and more the fact that if I go with any aftermarket wheels what's available is pretty much chrome torque thrust knock offs. I'm ok with paying a little more to get something in 18" to 20" that's more like BBS mesh wheels or something that looks more modern. I'm not into the old muscle car look on these trucks, I'd prefer something unique. Also in my area I've found multiple sets of BMW wheels with tires that have decent tread life for anywhere between $400-900 which on the lower end and factoring in adapters is better then the bad quality aftermarket+tires in that price range. I'd just like to know about the safety and fit issues. I would mostly be using the truck for around town commuting but I'd like to be able to be at highway speeds safely if I wanted to.

Yep, just keep in mind quality studs + adapters will likely be in the $600 range.

There is a guy on BF.c that will cut some quality adapters with studs for ~$350 to mount Vette Sawblades on an E36 . . . Don't think you get 17x10 wheels anywhere else for ~5 bills on an E36

Yeah, he cut a set for the Volvo in my driveway. The big sawblades look kinda silly on a 850 wagon....
