Newbie help- M14 lug bolts w/ Enkei RPF1 ?

Hi folks!
I just picked up a set of 17x7 RPF1 wheels to use on a bone-stock R56 autocross car. Will these bolt right up with the stock M14 lug bolts? I searched and couldn't find an obvious answer.

This is my 1st post here. Wife and I share her car for BMW a/x events, which is quite a different approach from my usual air-cooled 911. Managed to win the season last year, but the competition has narrowed the margin with fresh Bridgestones this year.

Cheers!

If they have the 14mm holes in them they should work. Some of the earlier ones only had 12mm and you would need to use our stud conversion kit to be able to use them. So measure the holes and you'll know quick.

Thanks for the help! These bolted right up with our stock m14 bolts and just required a set of 65.1-73mm hubcentric rings.

We dropped 8lbs per corner compared to the same 17x7 stock wheels! Didn't notice anything different on the course, but the car is dramatically more poised on rough pavement around town. Too bad the rpf1 wheels aren't up to daily driver pothole durability. The ride is significantly improved with the lighter weight.
