I thought BMW wheels where 4.72 Does the .03" not throw it off at all or is it just close enough?

Thanks for all the comments!!!
Update: I misquoted rim widths first post for anyone's future reference - Should state fronts are 8" and rears are 9".
W.r.t diameter of bolt pattern I know the new ones are 5 - 120 or 4.724" and old Syclone is 5 - 120.65 or 4.75". So being about 26 mils different, a "G" guitar string, I can only say by calibrated eyeball the fit-up is nearly the same. The bolts snugged up evenly in star pattern. Front and rear hubs slid onto fit without issue.
Only thing I'm noticing is the stock lug nuts are short a few threads from peaking out on backside meaning that the stock rims have more thread showing when torqued. But more than enough threads I believe to be safe?... forget if rule of thumb is 1 1/2 times the diameter for threads engagement.
W.r.t. to new tires yep, probably will have to spend some beans on new fronts sooner than later.
Curious what others think about the difference in bolt pattern diameter?
