BBS CH fit on X5 ?

[ChiChiBo]

Hi guys, I have a set of BBS CH's 18x8.5, 35mm offset on all 4 corners. Anybody know if these will fit on an X5?

I did some research and the bolt pattern and offset was no problem, so the only issue would be 1) the lug screw thickness on the x5 possibly (they are 14mm vs. standard BMW car at 12mm) or 2) the lug screw length (may be too short or too long).

I called BBS and they said they weren't sure. I called Tire Rack and all they could tell me was that the CH wasn't listed under the X5. (Could be because its a car wheel and not a truck wheel?)

Anybody offer any guidance / thoughts? I will cross post in the X5 forum too.

Thanks!

The offset is a little low so they are going to stick out a little. I would have to say they could work though. If I can help let me know.

thanks Jim. Wasn't so much worried about the offset as i was the (5) 14mm lug bolts fitting through the BBS' holes, and the screws having either too much or too little thread to catch when torquing them down.

Any thoughts?

Sorry about that the bolts did not even click with me. They are not going to work and I would not recommend drilling the wheels out.
Sorry.
