can bmw wheels fit on the camaro ?

solarstingray · 07-21-2017, 02:28 PM

sorry for the stupid question,

looks like the same bolt patterns just needs a center bore adapter ?

there a lot more after market wheels options out there for the bmw then our cars, ?

and have some deeper concave options,

strictly curious, that's all,

thanks again

Yes, same bolt pattern. And like you mention you just need a bore adapter but some people run without one. I personally use the bore adapters.

Watch the offset on the BMW wheels - especially front wheels. Some of them have a much larger offset than our Camaro wheels and that can be a problem with wider front wheels. Some of the wheel vendors will provide centering rings at a reduced price with the order if you ask.

as said, yup they can be. the BMW centerbore is 72.56mm the 6th gen Camaro is 66.9.

I would def use the hubcentric rings. although to find a set of aluminum ones, I had to get em on ebay from austrailia. 15$ and about 6 days.

I run the apex ps-7's in an 18x9 and et 31. great fit, no rubbing, and no spacers needed. if you go wider you may need to look into spacers depending on your goals.

Kinda like bolting up some Flo form wheels with the wrong hub center. People buy them here and have no issues.
Lots of cheap after market wheels for bmw. Like said above - watch offsets and you should have 200 sets of wheels to choose from.

Going to bump this thread with a question related to BMW wheel fitment.

Looking for a cheap 18" wheel for winter use that can clear the 1LE brakes. Don't want to mess with USA shipping since our dollar sucks.

Found a local set of 335i take offs. Specs are 18x8.5 +37, bolt pattern 5x120. Would these work with a 245/50 tire? Thanks.

yes technically my wheels are m3/m4 fitment the only thing that makes them fit the camaro is the hubrings i have

I don't know if you would clear the brakes on the front due to the wheel being 18" in diameter and you will only be gaining 2mm of clearance from the strut. The inner barrel diameter would have to be measured as well, even if a spacer was used to push the wheel further out from the strut.

Those 18x8.5 ET37 wheels will be noticeably inboard... not sure if they'll clear the 1LE brakes either, with that offset you'd have to worry about the spokes hitting the caliper as well as overall diameter.

like kropscamaro16 said, the 6th gen has a very similar fitment to an M3/4. When I was looking for wheels back when the car first came out that's what I got - I still run hub rings. Do some research if that particular style fits the M3/4... the brake clearance should be similar enough.
