Not that I know of... BMW's are 5x120... I think Porsche's are 5x130.
Corvette wheels fit as far as I know.

I dont think people do that. They make adapters for a vw to fit porsche wheels though.

BMW is entirely different from porsche. Thats like putting GTO wheels on a mustang.

ahhh okay... this is my expertise here..

older vw's... ie early watercooled vws are 4x100mm with a larger centerbore than hondas

slightly newer vw's that had the vr6 powerplant had 5x100mm bolt pattern

the newest vw's, audis, and the previous generation B5 passat all have 5x112 bolt pattern.. that's why i was able to run Mercedes AMG CL wheels on my passat. Mercedes is 5x112.

andy is right.. BMW is 5x120 and Porsche is 5x130

most vw owners run adapters to get the BMW/Mercedes/Porsche wheels on their cars if they don't have the right pattern. it works well on VW's because most of these mercedes, porsche, and bmw wheels have a higher offset and vw owners love an insanely low offset with a stretched tire.
