Audi wheel fitments
Has anyone successfully used an Audi wheel fitment on the G30? Bolt pattern is the same but centerbore is slightly off. Audi is 66.5 and the G30 shows 66.6

I have recently acquired a 540d xdrive and need a second set of wheels for winter tires. I too thought of Audi and MB rims using same 5x112 bolt pattern and 66.5 center bore. While I don't think that 1/10 the of a millimeter would matter (as this could be enlarged with a light sanding). The real compatibility problem seems to be the wheel bolts used by VW, Audi and MB - they are ball head lug nuts versus conical ones used by BMW. To further complicate matters, BMW use M14 x 1.25 threaded bolts while VW and MB use M14 x 1.5 bolts. Moreover, I can find no source for a ball head lug bolts matching BMW's finer-pitched threads.

I run W222 Mercedes S Class Wheels on my 2020 M550i. These are a set of 19s from my last car with Michelin PSAS3+ , in one size larger, which work great as "winter" wheels here in NJ. ECS Tuning had the lug bolts to make it work. ES#: 3699137
Mfg#: S17F39R12. These were good for the flange thickness of my MB wheels. |

Odd you mention ECS Tuning as a source for MB/BMW lug bolts. I happened on them on ECS after claiming I could not find them. Sounds like you have a really nice setup using S Class wheels. Do BMW center caps fit? They have be better made than many of the aftermarket 19's. I am looking for wheels for winter tires on my G30 (as my old F10 wheels don't fit) and always had good luck using OE wheels taken off older vehicles. Winters where I live are no place for show-car wheels and tires. Used ones that have been curbed or covered with baked-on brake dust function just fine on salt-covered winter roads.

Tommyudo, a question about your MB winter wheel set. I assumed that the 66.56 mm center bore on MB rims would present no problem on BMW's 66.6 mm hubs, but I am having second thoughts. I am curious how you handled this issue on your M550i.
