Adapters... How Thick.... BMW Wheels
My all time favorite wheel is the BMW M116 of of the 2008+ M5. I want to know if I can make these work on my car.
Specs of the wheel are
Front 19x8.5 12mm offset
Rear 19x9.5 28mm offset
Our factory offset is 35mm so I would need a 23mm thick spacer for the front and a 7mm spacer for the rear at a minimum correct? I want to be almost flush but still tucking the tire.
I can get the adapters I just need to know if this will work or not. Or if anyone knows of a Aftermarket wheel that looks like these let me know. Thanks

If you want to user adapter to covert 5x114 to 5x112, you need to find higher offset wheel and I think the minimum thickness for adapter is 25mm. So you need to find: Front - 8.5 +50~+57 offset and rear - 9.5 +50~+55 offset in order to flush with your fender. I doubt any BMW owner run such high offset. You might have better chance find something for Audi and convert it.

oh no no man you are doing your math all wrong.
those wheels would no fit at all witout some insane modifications to the fenders. out stock offset is +45mm and like I said your math is wrong.
if you were to add a 23mm spacer to the front (+12mm) the offset of those wheels would be -11mm not +35. By adding a spacer you are subtracting the offset making it smaller not larger. And I doubt you can get a wheel adapter that is less then a 1/2" thich. Maybe 10mm but nothing less then that

A local shop here sells adaptive lug nuts with a floating head for this exact purpose. You'll still have to get the wheels bored tho. PM me and I can give you the details.

The name of the design is a "Wobble Lug Nut"
They are available online here.
They state right in the specs that they will make 112's fit 114.3's, etc..... No boring needed.

how would that work without borign the wheels? can the studs 114.3 go throught the holes on the wheels that are 112? I looked into these before too because I wanted audi wheels but I couldn't find anyone that was running them to tell me exactly what to do. It would be nice to see someone do something like this, change it up from all the work,volk... wheels everyone has now.

I don't think this would be worth doing unless you get the wheels really really cheap, but if you love them that much and want something different that no one has, then more power to you.

Why would oyu advise agains it? Do you think that the structure of the wheels would be compromised and wheel wouldn't be as strong?

I don't know how much it costs to change the bolt pattern on a set of rims, but with the cost of that added to each rim, you can get a "better" one.
Unless, you "really really" like the wheel.

So I just talked to James at WeldCraft Wheels and he said they may be able to change the lug pattern on the wheels so I won't have to run adapters. I had to send him pictures of the wheels so he can see. If that's the case I will run 4 Rear wheels and I will have them take 1 inch out of the pair that will go on the front...

I will but it wont be done till tax time. this is my number one priority. I plan on having the finish redone to Black Chrome which I think would look sweet on my DPG and adding the Tien SS to bring the stance down.
With the 28 offset how close will they be to flush? Im sure Ill be rolling fenders as well. It might be cool to widen the front fenders though to clear the BMW OEM fronts... We will see but I will keep everyone updated.
