R56 / F56 rim compatibility?

Title pretty much speaks for itself... can R56 rims (and tires) be used on F56 or have they changed the bolt pattern/offset?

No.

R56 = 4 lug
F56 = 5 lug

Ah... OK, thanks.

You happen to know what the new bolt pattern/offset is? Same as recent BMW models? Thinking ahead about 'cheap' access to winter or track wheels.

Thanks!
