I suspect incorrect for an Omega hence 'variable nut' (they'll be wobble bolts.) ;)

Hi,
I am told the PCD is 5x120.

Would these fit with variable bolts?

I don't think so given that the Vx is 5x 110.
I think you can use wobbly bolts with +/- 2mm limits, so 120 makes it too big and not very safe
Are they Beemer wheels?

Tyre size would need to be 235/45/18 IIRC

for the fronts you can have either 225 - 245 40/45 18 and for the rear you caqn have anything up to 285's without having any rubbing issues.

I have 8.5 x 18 on the front and 10.5 x 18 on the rears, and the tyre sizes I went for were 225/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the rear

I think that PCD is too large to safely fit on the omega

BMW wheels will not fit straight on, wrong bolt pattern. Don't know if there's an adapter spacer available...?

Blimey, properly tyred as per GM's recommendations, Omega's understeer like a pregnant dog at speed. That must be a handful in the bends ;D

Personally, I wouldn't fit wobble bolts at all... I don't trust them where wheels are concerned ::) ::)
