You would be better off converting to factory 5x5 and getting some nice aftermarket wheels. You will have a ton of money in having 100% custom wheel adapters made and then still have issues with backspacing. The BMW uses a 5x120 which is 5x4.72 wheel studs must be exact if its only 1 mm off when you torque the nuts it bends the studs and breaks them off. Had a customer with wrong lug pattern wheels couldn't figure why he kept having to replace studs and it was 1mm off on the lug pattern
