the easiest thing to do is have a shop fill and redrill the wheels since they have a center cap over the bolt holes.

they DO make 4 to 5 lug adapters, but they are kinda pricey, and redrilling the wheels can be a cheaper option. H&R is a good company that makes some, also keep in mind that most adapters are around or at least 20mm thick.

i'd run the adapters. you would pay a bit to get them redrilled, and for bbs, 5 lug has a bigger resale market than 4 lug. in the end, its your money, your choice.

Thank U but one question do they sell the center disc of the BBS ok the BBS is a three part wheel the lip, the mesh and the barrel. I was thinking of getting the mesh part from someelse already re-drill or one that has 4 lug holes already. If i can find the mesh like that i would get the wheels in a hot minute.

nope. best bet would look for a set of wheels where the barrels have been trashed and you can reuse the face.

If you're planning on keeping the wheels, I'd go fill and drill. 4 to 5 lug adapters are really expensive. Unless you're getting a screaming deal on the BBS, keep looking for ones that don't need modification, you might end up paying more in the end.

Memoryfab has seemingly endless supplies of BBS RS wheels that will fit the box...
