    FYI .. bolt pattern and center bore size changed in 2016

    Hello everyone,

    I just discovered the hard way, that the bolt pattern and center bore changed in 2016 to 5x112 / 66.6 from the long standing 5x120 / 72.6...

    Got a super deal on 19" staggered take-offs from a 2016 750il with tires and sensors... basically brand new! Bought from a guy, who apparently found they didn't fit his 2000 7 series (he told me they were too big)...and I thought the 5x120 was common across the ages for BMW.

    So they don't fit y 2013 740Li. I thought about boring out the center, but can't see how the bolt pattern could be modified... Guess I'll be trying to sell, maybe only the rims.

    I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone looking for wheels...you need to look at bolt patter, center bore -- not just diameter and width (even if a BMW original).

    Be safe and enjoy!
