BMW M3 E46 Wheels on Countryman?

So this may be a strange question, but I have an old set of BMW M3 wheels (E46 I think) that I used as a winter set for my 2006 BMW M Roadster and my dad used for his 2007 335i. They are the 5X120 bolt pattern, not sure on offset and center bore as they are still at my parents house.

Does anyone know if I would have any problems using these for winter wheels on the Countryman S All4? I know BMW changed the Bolt size (not pattern) on most new versions, does anyone know about the Countryman's bolt size? Really hoping these will work so I don't have to dish out more cash on a winter set, plus I think they would look pretty good on the countryman (might get the JCW, brake clearance should be fine as these were meant for a M3).

Thanks in advane for any assistance.

I just traded my 06 Z4M in for my CMS All4 and I was running E90 M3 rims on it. I still have the rims and was curious how they would look on my CM and the answer to your question is no. The bolt pattern is right on but the offset is not even close. You could run them but they stick out about 3 inches which looks god awful. I did try the front M3 rims on the back of my CM and they still stick out about a 1/2''. I really wanted them to work but they are just to big for our CMs. Hope that helps.

As jthorst75 explained, they won't fit. We have M3 replicas on our car, size 19x8.5 and made for the 1-series BMWs.
