BMW wheel bolt pattern? Same as who?

[tomvcarter]

Hi,
I recently bought a pair of HRE P40s for my E92 M3, which look great!
But I’m considering selling the car so was wondering what other cars the wheels will fit?
Is the bolt pattern BMW only, or are there other manufacturers that have the same?
tks

BMW 5 stud pattern is 5 x 120.

Centre bore is 72.5mm on all except E39, E70 and E71 which are 74mm.

Great thanks, so I assume that means E60 M5 is ok?
What about other Manufacturers? Ie Merc, Aston Martin, Porsche, Audi?

Same as Pre 1986 Opel Monzas and Senators - which is handy for me cos that means BMW wheels fit however offsets are critical

Also has an USA equivilency so will fit some of the Corvette/GM stuff will fit

To be honest they would probably have the most appeal to a BMW owner

Agreed but I want to keep them myself! So wondering which Manufacturers I am confined to...

asked this one before myself, wanted 17" steels for my e36 from a cheap donor. apparently later t5 VWs have same pattern but only go up to 16" standard aiui.

Don't forget wheel offset - just because the bolt pcd is the same, doesn't mean they'll fit

So long as offsets are OK, not knowing what size and offset your wheels are difficult to say. Although you could use hubcentric spacers if they the offset is too high, but not if it is too low.

Porsche 5 x 130.
Merc 5 x112.
Audi 5 x 112 or 5x 100 on TT's.
Astons depends on model, but 5 x 120 is not applicalble to any.

So basically, 'no dice' on any of those.

If you're going to advertise this set as fitting other makes, I think brake caliper clearance may be an issue.
