Rim Help!
Hey Guys...
This guy is selling his set of 18" BBS rims...he is one of these clueless sellers who doesn't know the bolt pattern and model of the rims. Can anyone tell if these will fit my car? As you can see, they are on a 3-series BMW now.
Please help!

Those rims will fit...looks like the BBS RX 18x8... go to Tire Rack's website and confirm that those are the same rims....the BBS RX should appear as an option when you select wheels for the CLS. LOVE those wheels! I was considering those before I picked up mine...

BBS doesn't really have a great selection for our car... the BBS RC's are very nice rims though.

Another note, It think Tire Rack will tell you they wont fit, but another member has those rims and they are fine... also Comptech's CL-S has those wheels as well, and Mike B assured me they were fine (225/40/18) with comptech springs (no rubbing) Go to www.comptechusa.comand check it out

Yeah....no doubt! I overlooked that they were coming from a BMW...if you really like those wheels, you can get them and they will fit, but make sure they have the same parameters as I posted above...these specific wheels may not work since they are coming off of a BMW...and what he said.

Doesnt matter if they're the same wheel. Wheel companies do happen to make the same brand wheels fit vehicles with different bolt patterns and offsets ya'know?</STRONG>

bmw have 5x120mm bolt.
mbz has 5x112 bolt, so if you slightly enlargen the lug openings you can fit them on japanese cars...provided you get the right width and offset.
the new celicas have the 5x100 pattern as well as some vw's.
the focus has an altogether brand new pcd...4x108.

Make sure the center bore is also correct for the CL. If not look into hubcentric ring adapters, unless you want a vibration....Most likely the bolt pattern is not the same, like someone said earlier, I'm pretty sure BMW uses a 5x120mm.
