Corvette Wheels

[KFeez]

I just bought a set of wheels off a 2006 Corvette C6. 19" rears, 18" fronts, 285\35\19 Rears, 245\40\18 Fronts...5 Star chrome with good BFGoodrich supercar tires. My friend looked them up online and said they will fit with some work. I have a 2000 528i, and a 98 Z3 right now, which will they fit best and how? Thanks.

I forgot to add that I have a set of Bilstein struts and springs which lower the 5 Series about 2 inches

I've read before that yes they will fit with some "massaging". However, I asked my friends at America's Tire that 4 bolts will fit except for the 5th one that they advise me not to even try making them fit.

They are 5 x 4.75" which converts to 120.65 mm. I assume someone has done it already and wanted some insight. The (negative?) offset on them is ridiculous, the lugs are flush with the front of the wheel, meaning so much of the wheel sits behind the hub that it hits body long before hub.

PCD variation (wobble) bolts.

Made exactly for this reason.

Hey there, corvette wheels always have a high POSITIVE offset (large backspacing.) you will need a large spacer/adapter because of this. the bolt patterns are close enough to work- but wobble bolts would be recommended even if you were able to mount them directly to the hub in the first place- not likely. Also, knowing the width of the wheel and the exact offset would be nice, as they interact with each other to determine backspacing, and "lip" or "poke".

they would look sick on the z3.

I have no idea what the specs are, but pictured below is a rear wheel. I decided to put them on the Z3. How do I determine what spacer\adapter for them? Just try to put them on and measure, or search for the fitment?

no help?

the offset on both front and back is about 40-ish

however the centerbore is 70.1 vs BMW's 72.1 or E39 74.1

the Z3 has very weird offsets (fronts high, rears low)

E39 is 20-ish all around

So I suggest getting 20 mm adapters or spacers and wobblebolts and putting them on the E39

orrr bore out the CB on 2 and use 2 20 mm adapters on the back to fit the Z3

Hi guize.

On this topic,
I found some wheels that are off of an '89 corvette.
They are all 16x9.5" et 56. I want to run these on my E36 M3 sedan, but want to know that I could make them work. I am not opposed to rolling, cutting, stretching, and spacers. My "GUESS" would be that I would need spacers and a little stretch. Anyone?

Those C6 Corvette wheels aren't going to work too well for you:
Fronts are 18x8.5 ET56
Rears are 19x10 ET78

I have those wheels sitting in my garage for my C6.

For a BMW, you'll have to space the wheels out a good 20-30mm. Also, the bolt pattern is inch, not metric.
