Default Snow tires

I have a set of 16" snow tires and rims for my old E36 BMW, I was wondering if anybody knows if it is remotely possible using that on my '05 XT. Both have 5 bolt pattern though the BMW uses lug bolts vrs the lug nuts on the Subby. I don't know the diameter of the bolts either... other than the Subby has 17" tires...

Just wondering..

I wouldn't do it...Most likely the wrong offset and they won't be hubcentric, and that's if the holes match up. Brian

Exactly my thoughts, sorry Jay... "it ain't gonna happen"

I knew it was a very remote chance anyway.

Plus, the rims are stock BMW ones so they have the little BMW logo on it! That would be a faux pas, I guess...
