Would a set of bmw alloys off an e36 fit directly onto my 5x100 hubs and are the hubcentres the same size?
thanks for any input.  :smiley:

BMW's run very low offset so you will struggle to get them fitted with adaptors.

The hub size is marginally bigger on the beemer, i tried fitting vw alloys onto my beemer and it wouldnt get over the hub

Oh and vw 5x100
