BMW rims?
I found this pick on google images and it led to the forum, not my truck..if love to own it though. My question is, do the BMW rims he has on his c10 have the same bolt pattern as our 5 lug c10's? He stated that they were
BMW rims and that was 2 years ago. I doubt I would Get any response back out of that old thread. does anybody know if these will fit on our trucks?

Re: BMW rims?
I know Chevys 5 lug pattern is 5x5(5x127mm) and I don't know bmws, I don't know if any certain model BMW car has the 5x5 patten or if all 5lug bmw's do(I doubt it)

Re: BMW rims?
Do you know if they make a spacer/adapter from 5x5 to the 5x4.75?

Re: BMW rims?
Works on a Camaro 1968, but the minor difference in pattern size does stress the wheel bolts. I've had a few break in a period of 2 years.

BMW 5 bolt wheels are "close" to gm's 4.75 pattern, which is 120mm, but they're .7mm larger at 120.7mm, just fyi for everyone else.

Re: BMW rims?
So the bmw rims fit the smaller GM 5 lug pattern(s10 and cars)? Not our trucks(5x5)?

Re: BMW rims?
BMW wheels will fit on GM car pattern hubs.
They are not the same pattern exactly/dimensionally. If they're just swapped, sooner or later the studs will fail because they're getting tweaked in a way that will cause them to shear. Just because that guy & others have done it doesn't mean it's a good idea. It was mentioned to use a simple hub centric ring to eliminate issues. That only works if the patterns are the exact same but the hubs are different sizes & the wheel requires a hub centric mounting (hub dictates wheel placement) vs lug centric (lugs dictate wheel placement).
