Default bmw wheels on my civic?

Will e30 14" bottlecap BMW wheels fit on my 1997 ex? I know the offset and bolt pattern are okay, but I know the BMW wheels have a larger centerbore by about 1mm. Will this be a problem? Is there an easy fix?

I think the early 80's mesh 320I rims look tons better. They are 13's but light as hell and look good painted to match the car. And yes they will fit

I am in New Jersey. Those wheels arent easy to find. You are better off going with wheels from an e30 325is, they are 1 inch basketweaves you can have powdercoated. They look a lot like the e30 m3 wheels, but are 4 lug, not 5.
