they usually have pretty low offsets, however some of them will work.

Offsets are usually way different. E46 M3 factory offset is around 47mm up front, 26mm in the rear.

And besides the different offsets, the bolt pattern is not 100% the same.

TA/Camaro = 5x120.7
BMW = 5x120

There have been failures, even on this site. Not sure if the threads are still in the archives. Take it for what it's worth.

you will need to drill them out a little.. the .4-.7 does make a difference when trying to get them on.. no biggy though.. i used to have ACschnitzer wheels on my 3rdgen.. looked badass.. dont remember the offset though

Another ADR M-Sports here. These have the BMW specs but fit like a glove. You would never know the difference when bolting them on.

I recently started a thread about BMW rims. Check it out.

Besides the bolt circle being different the hub size is different. Our cars use hubcentric rims and so do BMW, but the sizes are different. This may make it difficult to get the wheels centered properly. The beemer hubs are larger so you can probably get some ring adapters to help center them up. I have a link to a place that sells them somewhere, but I don't think they are going to be a perfect match.

BTW, anyone running the evo rims are using BMW rims as they are all 5x120. A lot of folks are running them.

Most offsets for our cars are in the 35-45mm range and that is pretty close to most BMW rims as well. I have seen a few that were like 15-20mm so those would stick out too far. There's a sticky above that is a picture that shows the various rim diameters and offsets for the front and rear, use it as a guide.

On another note, I've contacted a few BMW rim sellers on ebay that are selling the staggered 8.5 and 9.5 rims and most said they could break up the set and sell 4 of the 9.5 if I wanted. You can also search for vette and GTO rims.

Your typical BMW is only going to fit a 9.5 in the rear at the most anyway with a 255 tire so I doubt there's going to be any 10-10.5 rims available.
