sorry man, I looked them up, and I thought adapters needed to stick out on the hub to make the wheels work correctly... I wasnt trying to be super rude, definitely my bad

Let's try this again.....





Looks like a raised "pseudo hub" for the wheel hole to me.

Okay, thanks so much for staying with me, im sorry for all the trouble, one more question now sorry, so that means that I would buy two sets of those, then I would buy 72.6 to 70.3 hub rings (for the wheels) and then I would buy 70.3 to 66.1 hub rings (for the car hub) and then the studs are the correct size??

@MicVelo For the love of everything that is sacred, please just buy these and drive to Boise to do the install for this poor soul.

No. Read the listing. 5x114.3 hub to 5x120 wheel. INCLUDES lug nuts to attach the adapters to your hubs. You need whatever lug nut style that fits the BMW wheels (shank, tuner, whatever) but, in 12x1.25 thread pitch to fit the studs on the adapters. The problem there is you need to find out what angle the original BMW lug BOLTS used (I'm sure it's listed on some BMW specific sites.) Then, you need hub rings that sleeve the wheel hole down to fit the 66.1 raised lip on the adapter. I have no clue what your wheels use but it should be listed somewhere as I think they still make those wheels.

Is that clear enough?

Summary: (From the hub outwards): Adapters, supplied lug nuts to affix the adapters to hub, wheels with hub rings installed either in the wheel or on the adapter, lug nuts in 12 x 1.25 pitch in whatever style lugs are needed for the wheel's lug nut bores and seat, torque to spec (85ft-lbs), done.

Sounds like a lot of work but it's no different than installing spacers but for determining the proper lug nuts.

At least my Zs have all been Nissans (nee Datsun).

All 20-something of them. 🤣
