Hey I have a friend who has some nice 18 inch rims he's willing to sell me for pretty cheap, but they are off his honda accord which are meant for cars with 4 lug nuts. Is there any possible cheap way to get those rims to fit on my car? Thanks for any responses.

you might need wheel-adapting spacers
and that would probably be a custom made
which will cost you about 250-300
if you could't find them from H&R
some hot rod shop will custom make those...
or ask these guys

you will lose some lip space, about 1.25"
but the again I assume the wheels will have a rather high offset
since they came from a FWD car

my suggestion is that if the wheels are not that good, or does not have lugs covers (a 4-lug BMW might look strange) don't go for it just yet

Thanks for the information. I thought there would be an easy way to do this but that seems like too much to do hahaha

Wait...
You would want to change your e36 to 4 lugs cause you could get a good deal on wheels for an accord?

Sorry, kill yourself.

And the problem with that would be what? And its not a "good deal", its actually for free. I dont see why that means I should go commit.
