Default offset conversion??

Can ISx50 be converted to 5x120 lug pattern? If yes, is ET27 (bmw offset) same offset for ISx50?

Saw nice set of wheels, thinking of buying - as second set. However, only available for BMW.

BMW fitment
•Offset: ET 27
•Center bore: hub-centric 72.6mm
5x120

Not going to happen I don't think. That offset is already pretty low for an IS, and if you had a conversion spacer in there, you'd probably bring it down to at least a +12 offset, way too low for an IS.

That's what I thought as well Jeff. Thanks man!!

I had a feeling there was an adapter for the lug pattern. My concern was the BMW to Lexus offset conversion. From what you described, definitely not going to fit and/or not worth trying.

Anyway, pic of the wheels (below). 18x10 (f), and 18x10.5(r). I wanted to go with beefy tires ( (track look) with my next wheel setup, looks like its not going to happen with these wheels. Time to buy an e90 M3.

Ill try to find the thread. But i am almost certain a member had a set of 5x120 wheels re drilled for our bolt pattern. Probably more trouble than its worth though
