Wheel adapters? Trying to make a 5X120 fit my 5x114.3
I have the opportunity to mount some BMW aftermarket wheels onto my car. The offset is right and I think the wheel will look amazing and unique once on, but the lug pattern is 5x120.. Are there any adapters that I can use to convert our current 5x114.3 set up to a 5x120??

that's not going to work. i don't think they make adapters for bolt patterns.

You're wrong. Ichiba currently makes adapters for BMW's with 5X120 bolt patterns to convert to 5X114.3 so they can have a wider spectrum of wheel options.
I'm just trying to look for the reverse.

They make them but I don't recommend it at all. Since you So.Cal hit up Lou @ Amp'd he could get them for you.

honestly i think your best bet would be to redrill the wheels with the right bolt pattern

You can only redrill it if you want the hole to get bigger, not the other way around.
