i know the lug pattern will fit, but does anyone know anything about the offset, or if the hub on our 3rd gens will fit into the back of these rims? any info would help.

but what if the hub bore is too big for the hub on the car... will that make a difference?

you may think that I didn't mention the detail, in Taiwan, there is no rim for thirdgen, so I must find some thing to instead, the BMW is the only answer, I had tried 2 set, the first one is not good, the hub center had been fix and became bigger, so I custom 4 center rings to clean the distance to make them stay on the bolt of car, but you can see that the bolt of front wheel is taped, the custom center ring is not "long", so those rim didn't work well, than I found another one which didn't be fixed, I used them without any modification.......
