Default Can I put BMW wheels on my car???

I have a 1977 camaro and I wanted to know if the wheels from a 2006 BMW 3 series would fit. They are the 17 inch alloys. If they could fit would any modifications be needed? Any help is appreciated I'm 18 and not sure what to do.

I don't think that is going to work... your Camaro lug pattern is a 5 by 4.75 inch... the BMW is a 5 by 120 MM. I would start looking someplace other then You BMW for wheels..

4.75"=120.6 mm. Yes, the wheels would bolt up, but they probably have way too much back spacing to clear your suspension.

Yeah I would suggest selling the BMW wheels and putting that toward properly specified wheels. Plus I think a 1977 Camaro would like odd with '06 3series wheels..just my thinking tho :/

I have to agree with the above replies, the last thing you want is to cause unneeded problems.

I know this thread is getting old but I have seen Bimmer wheels on a Camaro. The issue is they a hub centric not lug centric. I forget how he over came that
