You can get adapters, they're typically 20mm thick minimum.

Land/Range Rover used to use 5x120, not sure if they still do.

VW vans are 5x120 as well I think?

BMW are the main manufacturer using the 5x120 PCD.

+1

and you need to make sure the centre bore is the same or more (if it's more, you will need spigot rings)... E90s are 72.6mm...

Centre bore can be fairly easily made bigger, so don't let a small CB put you off. It's much less important than PCD and Offset/Width
