I have a 98' 318ti with the M package so i was looking to pick up a set of the M contour wheels (staggered) 7.5 in the fron 8.5 in the back ... will they fit with out having to roll the fenders or use wheel spacers? basically will i be able to bolt them straight on? Thanks everyone. |  |  | | 05-13-2005, 09:39 PM | #2 | | I miss my Ti....... :( Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 828 | Answer ...

Thanks everyone. | Welcome ... to the board!!! The answer to your quenstion is "Yes" they will fit as long as your car in not lowered.

Sweet ... thanks bro also i heard that running a staggered set up decreases the handling and so on for the 318ti this true? | | | | | 10-27-2008, 04:11 AM | #4 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Iowa City, IA Posts: 57 |

-Chad | If your car IS lowered, what is required to get them to work? Rear fender rolling? I am on the brink of buying a set... need response asap! | | | | | 10-27-2008, 04:03 PM | #5 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Iowa City, IA Posts: 57 |
Anyone? I really need a response on this, or at least an educated guess  | | | | | 10-27-2008, 04:08 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
I'm pretty sure they'll work seeing as they are an OE BMW rim made for the 3-series, there are plenty of members running staggered Contours on lowered suspension, maybe they'll chime in? | | | | | 10-27-2008, 04:09 PM | #7 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Iowa City, IA Posts: 57 |

I've got a set of Contour 2's on my car and have AutoX'd the car with stock M3/M Roadster suspension on it and with all of the body roll it generates, I haven't had any rubbing issues yet so I can't see it being an issue with a lowered car.
