Bolt patern??

Not sure on the offsets though. Bring it by and try it.

Unfortunately they won't. BMW's bolt pattern(s) are 4/5x120mm, and as far as bolt pattern's go there in a sizing all their own....

Depending on back spacing F-body and Vettes can use them. 120mm is 4.72 inches.

Well sort of, BMW's are 120mm on the money and technically GM's 4 3/4 size [vette's, camaro's, and many others] is 120.70. I have seen people try fitting bolt patterns that are close but I wouldn't try it becuase of the tapered lugs. If it was a flat sided nut like 'older' uni-fit Cragar's it'd be a different story......

Now that I think about it I knew of someone that tried to fit a set of 5x114.3 wheels on a FWD Caddilac that has a BP of 5x115mm. Now that's only a .7mm difference but the wheels would always loosen up after driving on them for awhile. He eventually got rid of them because one time a wheel got so loose that it was 'flopping' back and forth, and come to find out 2 of the lugs were missing......

There are certain things I won't take chances with, and being that the wheels are what your car rides on......

Alright, now back to the GREAT deal on these wheels...!!! :headbang

There is a company that makes an adapter specifically to make BMW wheels fit on most VWs. Putting M3 Wheels on GTIs and Jettas is very popular.

I forgot to mention that :thumbsup, you can pretty much fit any wheel on any vehicle with an adapter.....
