Wheel/tire fitment question
i know you have sticky on the top with faq and specs

I have checked the fitment guide and specs

but i still cant figure out if these 18'' m3 wheels will



Fit an 2000+ e46 - 325 or 330 ?

i know the front will fit , how about the rears ?

i dont know the stock tire size the m3 wheels come with

They simply do not. The offset is very different.

You can only run front M3 rims on a non M car. The rears will not work.

Those m3 rims are the nastiest rims ever, the 19 OEM ones are hot.

yeah I'm not a fan of them either. The 19's are hot, the 18's are not.

I've always hated the 18" M3 rims...never got why people went so far as to get replicas of them.
