Not sure of the make, but they are out there.
BMW run a 5x120 and we have a 5x114.3.

i ended up buying a set from adaptusa.

now im getting wheel shake. i hope its not cause of the adapters. im getting my tires rebalenced as my friend did them on a small machine. the rims are 22s ashantis

i also changed my tire rods as well.

does any one have any suggestions to stop the wheel shake?

Are those wheel spacers hub centric to your hub bore and to the wheel bore?

I would think that the wheels would center themself from the lugs. The biggest part I would think is the spacer being hubcentric to the hub.

You need to mount the wheel properly when you seat it.

Last I checked, BMW trucks use a 72.5mm hub. The FX I am pretty sure uses average nissan 66.1mm.

Best way to do it is to put the wheels on with an impact gun and cross torque them bit by bit while shaking the wheel a little. This way the wheel can never rest on the studs causing a slight out of round vibration.
