Is it safe to run BMW wheels using my old Corvette adapters? I know the hubs are slightly different as is the lug pattern but will it work fine or should I bite the bullet and purchase some new adapters...

The lug pattern difference is so small that I don't think it matters. I would use some hubcentric rings on the adapters though.025garage

I've heard of people fitting Corvette wheels to BMW hubs with no adapters because the difference is only 0.65 mm or something... should work out in that case. But hubcentric rings are a must.

I'd run Chevy wheels on a BMW with no worries, but not with adapters. The aluminum the adapters are made out of is much weaker than the steel of the hub, and they'll likely loosen over time.Comment

Im taking one of the Z3m wheels and one of my vette adapters to my metal working shop to have them make some custom rings for the m wheels to fit the vette adapters... then no vibrations or worries. Thanks for them help and found an old thread about this topic http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3339Comment
