    Thinking of 5 lug swap, will BMW or Benz wheels fit?

    As the title says, I'm thinking of doing a 5 lug swap in august/September. With the 5 lug swap I wanna go with a EURO look with my CB, so what I want to know is if I do I 5 lug swap will BMW or Mercedes Benz wheels fit my 5 lug swap? I know there's a difference between 5 lugs like 5x100 or 5x114
    Does anyone know if those wheels will work?
    Also what do you guys think about going with a EURO look? I think it would be cool/different/unique.... I'll post some pics of the wheels I like later, I'm at work right now, also I plan to paint my car black to give it that EURO/VIP look,
    Ok thanks for your comments

      Why couldn't you have just Googled the answer for yourself? Most Mercedes wheels are 5X112mm and most BMW wheels are 5X120mm. So no, most of the standard ones won't work without serious modification.

      The Euro look has been done before. And before you ask, no, I won't retrieve pictures for you as well.

        You could use bb6 prelude or 98+ v6 accord parts. Odyssey parts, TSX parts....any Honda that's 5-lug, is going to be 5x114.3.

        **Up until 2010 or 2011. The newer cars are 5x120, I believe.

          Ok so to make it work I need newer 2011 and up 5 lug Parts, imma call some shop in Downey CA that imports 5 lug parts to see if they have any 5x120 swap parts,

          @Jarret I know the euro look has been done before but I've never seen a CB7 with actual BMW or BENZ wheels. They make some pretty nice wheels from the factory

            BMW wheels are 5x120 in order for you to fit those wheels not only will you have to convert to 5 lug (5x114.3) but you with also have to get and adapter/Spacer that bolts on to your 5x114.3 and converts it to 5x120.. btw what shop in downey are you talking about?

              11412 Old River School Road
              Downey, CA* 90241

              Damn so I would have to get spacers/adaptors, do they even make those 5x120?

                i never heard of that shop i thought you were talking about PRO SPEED MOTORSPORTS on firestone blvd in downey they are reputable and the owner is always there and willing to help i met him personally and boughten parts from him. but yes they do make those adapters i seen someone on ZILVIA.net having some because he had BMW 745i wheels on his lexus and was selling the wheels along with the space/adapters i dont know where he got them but im sure they werent custom.

                  Here's a google search I performed....

                  Google Results

                  That'll be anything that's about 5x114.3 to 5x120 adapters... Just be careful. Make sure if you get some to get a REPUTABLE brand and not some cheap... I don't really like adapters but I've seen people run them without a problem.. I've seen some people really mess up with some cheapos... Just be careful.

                      Most of the guys I saw running adapters were the dually crew cab guys.. Buddy of mine had a slammed Chevy 3500 crewcab dually riding on 24" Semi wheels. one of his adapters broke on the front and that was the end of his adapter days. His were quality built, but the weight of the truck just didn't agree.

                        JEM motorsports is a very great place! I talked with the owners there when i lived down in Downey. Ask for Mark, I am sure he will help you as much as he can! He is a really chill guy.

                        I really wanna see some BMW/Merz wheels on a CB!

                          dam, i cant believe this thread, glad i found it cause i was wondering the same n had the same thought. not seen a cb with euro wheels. so there is no way to do a 5 lug swap without having to go 114 with adapters? i wonder what the 2011 oddesey hubs are like?

                          best option for our cars seems like it would be a 5 lug swap and get quality adapters, im sure our cars dont weigh as much as a truck with dulie wheels.

                          my next question would be, could one still do the break dual piston upgrade and go 5 lug swap?

                            i know this is an old thread but adapters are easy to find as long as you have $$$.
                            cb7 to 5x120 (hub and wheel centric) are around 400-500$ shipped
