Do Corvette Wheels Fit On BMW?

It's a common question we get asked, do Corvette wheels fit on BMW? The answer is not as straight forward as you might think. In order to answer this question, we need to understand the difference between bolt pattern and offset.

What bolt pattern is a Corvette?

Most late model Corvettes have a 5 x 4.75" bolt pattern. That means that the distance between each of the 5 bolts is 4.75". BMW's have a variety of bolt patterns, but the most common is 5 x 120. This means that the distance between each of the 5 bolts is 120mm.

How to choose the right wheels for Corvette?

When choosing wheels for your Corvette, it is important to consider the wheel's offset, width, and diameter. You will also want to make sure that the wheel has the correct bolt pattern for your car.

Choosing the right wheel size

The wheel size is an important factor to consider when choosing wheels for your Corvette. The wheel size should be matched to the size of the tires, so you need to know wheel specifications. If you have larger tires, you will need a larger wheel. Conversely, if you have smaller tires, you will need a smaller wheel.

What offset is a Corvette?

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be positive, negative, or zero. A positive offset means the hub mounting surface is closer to the face of the wheel. A negative offset means the hub mounting surface is closer to the backside of the wheel. A zero offset is when the hub mounting face is even with the centerline of the wheel. Most late model Corvettes have a +24mm offset. BMW's offsets vary depending on the model, but +20 to +30 is common.

What size are Corvette wheels?

Corvette wheels come in a variety of sizes, but the most common size is 18 x 8.5". BMW's also come in a variety of sizes, but the most common size is 17 x 8".

So, do Corvette wheels fit on BMW?

The answer is yes and no. The bolt pattern is the same, so the wheel will physically fit onto the car. However, the offset is different, so the wheel will stick out further than the wheel wells on a BMW. Additionally, the size of the wheel is different, so the tires will not line up correctly. We do not recommend putting Corvette wheels on a BMW.

Conclusion

When choosing wheels for your Corvette, it is important to consider the wheel's offset, width, and diameter. You will also want to make sure that the wheel has the correct bolt pattern for your car.
