Default m6 wheels on a sc

i saw m6 wheels on a sc, and wanted to know the specs on it to see if it was possible to do it on my 92.Gonna upgrade to the vertex front bumper, with a spray on the front bumper and two fenders. My car is black already but those wheels look really aggressive on the matt black sc i saw. If u wouldnt mind sharing but wouldnt mind me going for a similar look...

If they're not adapters they could've been replica wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. I was thinking about doing adapters on my SC430 to accommodate LS460 wheels, but it's too much of a headache. GL

25mm 5x114 to 5x120 wheel spacer/adapters, essentially the same thing as running 25mm 5x114 to 5x114 wheel spacers. It's just the new lug location is 5x120 instead of 5x114. Tons of people on here running 25mm spacers, me included. BMW guys run 5x120 to 5x114 adapters all the time on the track.

couldn't have said it better myself...

find a car with the ride height and wheel fitment you like and use ther specs as a base map for your car.
