    Default BMW wheels on a vs

    Hey guys, have been doing some research lately to see if i can 100pct fit BMW rims onto my VS. From everything i've read i can do it, was just wondering if anyone has done this themselves?

    Cheers


    Wanna put these on my vs ;D

    5x120 is the bolt pattern, offset will be a number, can be anything from 15 to 50 for bmws, depending what model it came off.

    those wheels look like the style 172 off an m5, 19x8.5 offset is et18, the 9.5" wide are et32. would probably be pushing it to fit them on, would need to roll guards, rear would want to be irs, and decent amount of camber added.

    for an easier(yet more boring) fit, look at 3 series bmw wheels, theyre always higher offset, which is more suited to commodores.
