120 x 5 to 114.3 x 5 spacers

Hi all,
I'm looking at purchasing some work wheels in 114.3 x5, 18 x 8 + 48.

I was looking to purchase a 114.3 / 15mm conversion spacer for it to work.

Does anyone know if this will work and if 15mm is enough length for the stock bmw studs to screw all the way in?

The wheels will need pockets for the bolt heads to fit inside, some wheels have this, others don’t. The spacer/adapter needs 60 degree cone seats in it, the stock bolts will fit correctly with enough length if the correct seats are used. The other issue is wheel offset, you will probably only get a 225 wide tyre on the front with the effective 34mm offset and the rear could be problematic with anything wider than the stock 245 wide tyre, too.

Thank you for the detailed response.
