the lug pattern on the BWM are different but you can get them re-hole the rims or get adapter for them.. I have seen GS with BMW rims on this site.. maybe the person who did it can help you out..

I have the exact same rims on my Coupe love them & I was disappointed that VMR didn't offer them for Lexus.

Keep in mind if you use adaptors, they also work as spacers. So if it is 25mm thick, then they will push your wheels out by that much. Good luck either way with your decision.

The offset is pretty conservative on these so you'd be good with adapters. I have also heard a few guys using the wobble lugs and have worked well.

best bet is to use spacers/adapters to have them fit, just make sure you get the correct size spacers/wheels

It will need modification. O.G's don't do a mod like this though, new-school does
