another aftermarket wheel thread
You would need to know how the offsets compare....... even BMW share a VERY similar PCD the X100s were a 120.65 whilst BMW were a 120.
Providing the offset is 35mm or over you can almost fit anything with adapters.

well i would like to go with an aggressive fitment. say what you will but i love the look and i would like to be the first to pull it off on a xk. nameless performance said they should be releasing coilovers shortly and i can honestly say i have never been more excited in my life.
where can i find wheel spacers that will fit our odd bolt pattern?

im not looking to put stock corvette wheels on my car. companies such as adv.1 sell wheels with our bolt pattern that were meant for a vette but i was curious as to how they would fit
I make them to order but I would use THIS guy who is in the states, it appears from his site he makes them himself and knows what he is going on about, there are quite a few about in your neck of the woods, but quite a few of those just seem to be outlets rather than manufacturers?
Might be worth checking if any of the forum site vendors do them so you can get some discounts?
I did this XK with some XKRS wheels called Selena (shadow finish, basically black chrome)
The PCD on these wheels was 108 and had to be changed to the standard 120.65 for the XK
Good luck

Aftermarket wheels for corvettes will have similar offsets to stock corvette wheels. High offset means the wheels will sit too far in, so you will need spacers to bring them out.
H&R makes high quality spacers for our cars.

It's only .325 on the radius, you will probably have more than that on hole clearance. The biggest thing will be the offset, 5 Series wheels will be OK and you will just about get away with Z4 but you might need a thin spacer.
It's a bit of a gamble on the PCD , you could always use eccentric wheel nuts?
