More Info
These wheels are straight off my 7 series BMW, they are ARTEC "ms3" here is their link ARTEC GmbH As I mention above the front are 8x8.5 and the rears are 8x10, Not excatly sure but I believe the BS is 6". The rears are direct bolt on and I did not have any clearence problems, The fronts have to be use with a spacer otherwise it won't clear our center bore which stick out to much. The front spacer I'm using are 1 1/4". I've got some 3/4" spacer that I think would look much better. This way it won't stick out as much. Also you may have notice the tires. On the BMW they call for a front 50 and rear 45, on the camaro they should be at least 45 fronts and 40 rears,, could also go 40 front and 35 FAT rears. The rims run about 250 give or take, at least you don't see many 3gen with these on.. To bad they have to go back on my BMW.....

Re: BMW Rims on camaro
Good thing they are going back on the BMW, your R-F tire is on backwards, as I am guessing your L-F is too...

They look sharp on there though.. I never knew they had the same bolt pattern.

Re: BMW Rims on camaro
Off the top of my head, I thought the BMW wheels had a bolt pattern that was a few mm different from ours? If so, I'd worry about the wheels coming loose since they are only really tight against one edge of the lug nut. This is from memory though, but I thought I'd mention it.

Nah, not a few... It's something like .65 millimeters smaller IIRC.
