I'm trying to let everyone know about this. We (318ti's) have the same rear suspension as an E30 M3. Only the E30 rear hub's are set 20mm in on either side. I did the swap and i do not rub. I am also running E46 M3 rims. (18x8 front, 18x9 rear) Oh and my tires are tucked in the rear! Of course that will only help with the rear.

What exactly is an offset?

Hard to explain, so I think a picture works better

Do you know what the offset for the E46 M3 wheels are. Or where on the rim I could find it (if it says it on the rim). I never really looked at them. I just did what was suggested to me to make them fit so they would not rub.
