What adapters needed to put VW/Audi wheels onto F30 sedan?

I have a set TRMotorsports MT1 (17x8, 5x112, ET35) with Nitto NT01 tires from my VW and was wondering if they fit on my F30 328d sedan without rubbing, etc.

Would these even fit the F30 with bolt pattern adapters? If so, can anyone suggest a set to purchase?

Sell the set you have and buy a properly fitting set.

Bolt pattern is wrong; nothing will make them fit a 5x120 pattern (other than boring new holes for the bolts.)

See vendors for wheels.

You can buy a 5x112 to 5x120 wheel adapter, but the ones I've seen are about an inch and a quarter thick. That will add almost 32mm of offset to the wheel fitment. With that much spacing, I don't think they will fit well.

My stock F30 wheels are 18x8 ET 35, so exactly the same fitment as your 17x8 ET 35 wheels. Pushing them out 32mm would not work.

Even if it's possible with an adapter, the question of safety can be humbly raised when considering to use wheels not designed for your car. Suggest to sell your VW wheels, get another set of wheels and sleep well.
