Help: Will This BMW Wheel Fit My '02 Maxima

I found a nice deal on a set of Mille Miglia 11-2s with nearly new Blizzaks (less than 2000 miles). These came off of a BMW 540i, and have a five lug bolt pattern. They appear to be 16" by 8", and they are shod with 225/55/16 tires. Any chance these will fit my '02 Maxima? I've got to learn more about wheels and tires (though I'm pretty sure the tires work).

Thanks guys.

1)Why in the world would you want to downgrade from the stock 17"s to 16's?

2)I highly doubt they will fit. BMW's have a RWD offset that's different from ours.

1. These wheels are for snow tires (I live in the snowy Northeast).

2. You're probably right

C. Thanks for the feedback.

Nope. BMWs use a larger diameter bolt pattern than we do. I think it's 5x120mm vs 5x114.3mm for us. Offset won't be right either.
