Anyone know a way to get 5 x 112 wheels to fit 5 x 120 car??
Can anyone tell me a way to fit wheels with a 5 x 112 bolt pattern on a car that has a stock 5 x 120 bolt pattern??
I don't think it would work without bolt pattern adapters, am I wrong"??
Also, does anyone know of a company or website that sells such adapters?

depends on the weather
it really didn't fit properly even though you can physically get them into place
here's why
MB bolt pattern = 5-112
Acura bolt pattern = 5-114.3
2.3mm difference and that means the lug stud is off center of the opening by 1.15mm .... so, the lug hardware is not properly contacting the seat area
MB center bore = 66.56mm
Acura center bore = 64.15mm
the wheel is not hubcentric either
these issues can cause serious problems and be as dramatic as the lug studs breaking and the wheels coming off of the car at speed

Hey Joe, Why do you want to put a MBZ rim on a BMW? Are you looking at any particular MBZ rim style to put on a BMW?
