Does anyone know if the e46 m3 wheels will fit our cars? Does anyone have them on there car? I have the option to purchase a set if I want them. Just need to make sure I can use them. If anyone has this set on there car and has pictures I would love to see what they look like. |  |  | | 03-06-2008, 10:14 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |

Only the front will fit because wrong offset on the rear. So if you buy 4 front wheels then you can have them on the 318ti. | | | | | 03-06-2008, 10:19 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |

So I would have exted them out to cover the tires? Sounds like a huge pain the ... I could also just get some 13s and extend them out really far, low rider. | | | | | 03-07-2008, 06:51 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 |
the ET on rear originals are way too low (et 18?) to get away with rolling.. it may need whole new rear arches  __________________

yeah they are 18. I think I might go with a different wheel now. less hassle. Thanks for that info though. | | | | | 03-07-2008, 09:58 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 |
you can still get them in the right ET, they can even be found in E46 M3 staggered style __________________

i had a set and tried it out.
rears rubbed, so i had my fenders rolled, and the guy is amazing at it. he was able to pull some of the metal out too, making the metal part of the fender wider. he heated up the metal and paint with a big heater and used the fender roller from the softest setting to the hardest until he new he was going to mess the metal up, you can def tell the difference from a stock Ti.
but even with that, with stock shocks and Vogtland springs i rubbed in the rear. fronts had no problems, but the rears would rub on corners at a medium pace.
they looked amazing because i was tucking in the rear, but i didnt want to drive it like a sallie, i have to drive hard, so i sold them to a friend | | | | |
