Default fitment question

I just saw BMW M3 wheels 18x8.5 for sale @ 800 bucks brand new no tire. Supposedly this is supposed to fit the SC4. Can anyone confirm? I like the way they look and you can trust their rims to be of good quality.

Are they 5x114.3 bolt pattern? And is the offset +40-50? Grab a metric micrometer and check 'em if you need to.

The BMWs all use 5x120 versus your 5x114.3.

They do not interchange.

They won't fit. I looked a a nice set of Bimmer wheels, and looked at the adapters for them. Then after measuring and help from Manaray, I decided that a wheel sticking 1.5" past the fenderwell wouldn't look good.

Wiz, man, you should have taken my suggestion and put some 195/60's on those wheels....with 1.5" sticking out on each side, it would have looked TIGHT!
