Want to know if these wheels will fit my car...

A friend of mine is parting out her car, and I would love to buy her wheels. However, her bolt pattern is 5x100 as opposed to 4x100 on my MINI. Also, the offset of her wheels is et35, they are 17x8.

If H&R makes adapters for these, would the wheels look ridiculous on my car as far as poking out? I just want to know if this is feasible.

Thanks for the help!

The wheels in question:

I would say no, spacers will poke your rims out to far since, the wheel is already 8 inches wide.

i agree. the wheel adapter for the conversion will push it out way to far since its 8" wide and already a 35mm offset.

those wheel adapter are damn thick. usually in the 20-25mm range.

I agree with kenchan, no & no.
