picked rims, will they work? help

so im looking at a set of momo rims, think theyll look really good

does a 5x120 bolt pattern fit right on a 3rd gen ir what?

and if the stock rims are at like +10 offset (correct me if im wrong plz)

and these are +35, a 25mm spacer will make it all work yes?

thanks guys

happy holidays oh and there 17x8

I would not take a chance on 120mm bolt circle wheels when the factory wheels are on a 4.75" circle. 4.72" is not close enough to 4.75" in my opinion. I think that you would have centering issues.

4.75 is 120.65mm, 120 mm is a BMW size and it will bolt right up. Only a .325mm difference per stud. I have M6 rims, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 w/ 20 ET and they bolt up.

It's not exactly right but a lot of people do it anyway.

I personally would be comfortable with doing it.

Re: picked rims, will they work? help

yes a 25mm spacer will be perfect. more commonly a 1" spacer will be used though because 1" = 25.4mm
