bolt pattern is good

whether the m6 wheels clear the front caliper, i can't say for sure (probably will, that's just my guess).

another thing is hub bore size, bmw (5, 6, 7) are 72.5mm i believe. maybe you will need hub rings

again it was just going to be a super cheap upgrade to the stock 18s. i have a buddy whiling to sell me a black set of the 20" with tires for 650. i spend that on a good night out. better then stock 18s. ill just take the time and slap em on quick see where the offsets sit and if it looks retarded.

Will look very cheesy if you put M6 rims on. If you want BMW rims an expensive option is Alpina B7 rims. Will cost you an arm and leg but would look great on the LS.

Interested to see if they bolt right on too. I know the bolt pattern will fit but not sure of the center bore

hub centric rings can be custom made for any combination, that will take care of that hub bore issue. hopefully the bmw wheels have a smaller size..usually hub rings will "fill the gap"

I just did a basic google search and found this

According to the TSW fitment guide
- 6 series including M6 center bore = 72.56
- 7 series center bore = 72.56

Then did another google search for centerbore charts and found this which says the LS has a 60.1m center bore.

http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-r...CIAL+OFFSET%29

This shows the specs for the 6 series

http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-r...odels=6+SERIES

This shows the specs for the 7 series

http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-r...%2C+750%2C+760

So getting hub rings may not be an issue, then all you need to worry about is bolt pattern matchup, then offset and width to avoid rubbing. I know discount tire direct dot com is another resource for hubrings..tell them to match up and they may be able to hook you up..if not, there are other places that custom make hub rings

I wouldn't personally put another car's make wheels on my car, especially LS, which is classy on its own. BMW drivers might make negative comments haha, try it and see how it goes!

I put 22s from a friends 745 on my LS and the back rubbed and the fronts stuck out too much better to get proper off set.
