what non bmw wheels can we fit?

[e34 life]

just as the title states...

ive been finding some awesome wheels for super cheap lately, but im not too familiar with what i can fit?

[bmwwheelman]

I know that land rover wheels have the same bolt pattern but good luck finding anything under 22" haha
From what I've read the newer corvette wheels are literally almost the same bolt pattern as ours... never test fitted.. I dunno why anyone would wanna put corvette wheels on a German car...
And I've seen an E32 with Bugatti wheels on it. I don't know what they were from. Looked like an older Bugatti... probably 16" if I remember...

My camaro/corvette wheels fit.

I wonder how these would look.

lots of people with money problems, dumping off toys and cleaning out extra parts.
I see prices going down even more over the next couple months, so it is a buyers market for all things "luxury".

Sorry not answer your question. But be patient and look for something that's made for your car.

Jaguar too.

Camaro/Corvette/Blazer/whatever are 5 x 120.65. Not sure what you modify.

Center bore?

Center bore?

I'm sure you have to bore out to 72.56mm...not sure if the bores on those wheels are larger than that though.

What's needed to run lug centric wheels on a hub centric car?

a hubcentric ring and "wobble bolts"

Best adapter site, hands down. They'll make whatever you need.

As for what fits, doesn't matter with adapters... Anything fits. Chevy wheels will bolt up even without wobble bolts, but the hub bore must be bored to 72.56 as denton mentioned. This will usually cost ~$150-200 and 99% of the Chevy wheels you find will need spacers anyways, so you'd really be better off using adapters. Then you can leave the wheels alone and sell them as-is when you're done with them. That's the main reason I went with adapters on my HRE's rather than re-drilling them.

I wanted Porsche Turbo twists on mine but the offsets are all wrong. :( It was a total PITA calculating everything, but then again I've dropped Statistics twice now in undergrad :rofl

maybe cause you're confusing statistics with geometry...

Haha I was just saying how bad I am with numbers. Journalism major...

[ShapeShifter]

I have a couple sets of porsche wheels I need to get rid off. 17" Cup II's and 18"s Cup II's.

[E34ührer]

I wonder if these will work? They are even the right color for my car!

Perfect!

[ShapeShifter]

How about some of these?
Ball'in since 1882.....:buttrock

I hear weld racing pro stars in camaro and corvette spacing fit

http://blowneuroz.com/525/Final%20Pics/wash7.jpg

with custom centric spacers of course

[ILoveMPower]

You surely can't launch your car with those can you? Looks like theres no way you wouldn't rub like a bastard, especially if you were running low pressure in the tires.

[Dat Aus]

commodore wheels are a direct fit :rofl

[NikosX]

Anyone have pics of Porsche Twists on an E34?

[Hari]

I'm surprised I missed this thread... Everything can fit if you have the drive and determination. When I buy wheels the only thing I'm concerned a little about is offset, PCD be damned. :)

[jspaulding46947]

there is an e34 running around on base that has older z28 camaro wheels on it....tackiest thing I've ever seen.

this is the style wheels only in blue on a black e34

I have a set of Borbet rims from a E39 that I use on my E34 Touring with Hub Centric rings. My summer set of wheels are M5 throwing stars.


Anyone have pics of Porsche Twists on an E34?

Does this mean I can put my FUCHS on my E34 and my throwing stars on my PORSCHE?

HUMM The throwing stars are 17" but the FUCHS are only 16"

Nah I've got that setup for snow performance
