BMW wheels fit SVX?
Ok, thanks for the quick response. I had found some wheels with tires that will probably sell rather cheaply and thought....maybe. Yes I currently have 18" Enkei wheels, but was trying to find another wheel for the winter (Ohio). So with I will just continue to shop for tires for my stock SVX wheels. No further response is needed...don't want to take up anybody lses time on this dead subject.lol.
Does anybody know if a 18" Rondell deep inset wheels for a 5 series BMW will fit the SVX? The tires have a 285 (aspect ratio of 55) width and the wheels are 8.75" in width. Any help, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Last edited by SVXonthebrain; 10-11-2007 at 06:59 PM. Reason: updating |

I've never taken the wheels off a Beemer, but I know that all the other German cars I've worked on use lug bolts instead of lug nuts (which I detest with ever scap of my being). I'm not sure if wheels that use lug bolts can be used on studded hubs with regular lug nuts.

Not even close..... First of all I am pretty sure that BMW's run 5x120 bcp and the SVX runs 5x114.3. Second of all that is WAY too wide of a tire. Third I think that aspect ratio= offset and 55 is not right for the svx either. If you want a 18" wheel you really are not going to be able to go beyond 8" width. I have 18's on my red car and they are 18x7.5 with 225/40/18 tires on them and they fit great.

what is a lug bolt? Just like it sounds? Screws into not onto?

Yup, thats it. They suck to install. As if euro cars weren't already hard enough to work on
