can I use OEM bolts on aftermarket wheels

Do aftermarket wheels require new bolts on an f32? I purchased Enkei TY-5 5x120 and was wondering if I can use the oem bolts. If not, which bolt style do I need to purchase. thank you in advance

yes, according to tire rack:
The wheels you chose are engineered to use Original Equipment lug hardware and therefore lug hardware is not included with your order.

I'm curious to see what they look like on your car! I've been considering these wheels but can find pics of any f3x with them. Post some pics when they're all setup!

Looks great! Are the center caps the same size or did you use stickers?

I went with 19x8.5 square setup. I think you could do the 19x9 +35 square as well. I had the 245 tires just laying in the garage from my alfa romeo. plus I wanted to save weight a bit so I assumed x8.5 would be at least 1-2 lbs lighter than x9
