Wheels and off sets
« on: May 21, 2011, 06:56:12 am »
My wife has a BMW E92 coupe the front wheels are ET37 and 8 inch wide ,The rears are ET39 and 9 inch wide. I want to take the wheels off and get them refurbished  ,My question is could i fit my old set off pescaras  ET51 and 7 and a half inch wide ,

I am sure BMW and VW  use the same pcd stud pattern so that looks ok


Tbh I would doubt it would be driven just a better option than axle stands ,but if it had to be driven would it be ok

Thankyou

Wrong PCD (Stud pattern), so would need adapters.

Thats correct. You cannot interchange. I know as I've tried it.

BMW 5 x 120 PCD
VW   5 x 112 PCD
