5/7 Series Wheels on an e46

I understand the offset and bolt pattern challenge but I have not found info about the lug size.

The 7 series (and 5 series?) use a larger lug (14mm) as compared to the e46 12mm lug. Is there an easy way to put the larger lugged wheels on an e46?

I realize they are hubcentric but I am concerned about how the lugs would fit.

Yes, I am ignorant of this situation. Flame me or help.

Thanks!

you will need hugcentric rings for the 5 series wheels - not the 7s (i believe from others experiences)

I am not 100% on the lugs - are the older 5s and 7s 14mm? I have seen quite a few 3s with 5 and 7 series (older models) wheels

I went to myboltpattern.com and, when comparing wheels, the only major difference in wheels between my e46 and the 7 series is the lug size. I haven't a clue beyond that.
