5x120 vs 5x120.6 the 0.6mm will that makes a difference ?why are they make a bolt pattern this much of a difference? a couple of hair longer?

So the bolt pattern is 5 X 120 millimeters instead of 5 X 4.75 inches which equates to 5 x 120.6 millimeters. Is that what you're saying? If so .6 mm is .152", which should be less than the clearance of holes to the studs. I wouldn't think it would be a problem, but couldn't promise it. Ask a rim shop, they should be able to tell you.
Did you measure this mistake ar do the rimes say they are a 5x 120 bolt pattern. The more I think about it who has a bolt pattern that is .6 mm less that a C6? I wouldn't think anyone. I bet they are the correct rims, but I would still check a rim shop to be sure.

0.6mm = 0.024"
so about 1/40th of an inch difference in bolt circle diameter...I can't imagine that's going to cause a problem

The bolt patterns are virtually the same, a BMW wheel 5 x 120 mm will fit onto a GM 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern however the BMW offset is different. Even the BMW lug nuts are the same as the C6.
