Will These Wheels Fit My 325?

[abemcclellan]

it says that these wheels only fit 5,6,7 series. but i've seen someone with these wheels and they look absolutely badass. anyways, these wheels are 18x8 and 18x9. they have an offset of 20mm and 120mm bolt pattern. -thanks guys

[93 325i]

no, not with that offset..

[abemcclellan]

what about wheel spacers? would that make the offset work my e36?

[93 325i]

you really want those rims huh?.. best bet would be to call the company to get a difinitive answer. I have seen those or very similar rims for the 3 series that fit..

[abemcclellan]

hahaha. yeah i guess i do. when i saw these i was like.......daaaaamn....i'm getting some. i guess its worth a shot to call and ask. thanks man. anymore help would be awesome too.

i wouldnt try to get thsoe on my car, the offset is to off... do they make a replica set of those for the 3 series? often times companies will dothat, if they hear people really like the rim

no prob..the max offset u can go i think is 35mm but with some determination i guess anything is possible..these are close but you dont get the deep dish..

You need to look into replicas for those wheels. I love M Prallel's.

Replicas are made to fit e36/e46's. Here...

thanks guys. i really like the ones that i posted bc of their deep lip. but i think i'll check into these replicas on aaarims before i make any decisions. -Thanks

I heard they're soft wheels, many people have bent these replicas easily.

i was looking at those wheels too. i sent an email to the guys at thewheelexchange about the offsets, because i haveseen them on a few e36 3 series. i think robbins6103 has them...they are awesome. on tire rack, they say the offset for the e36 328is is +40mm...can anyone correct me or is that true. thanx

that offset sounds really close. i think its around 40mm. hey thanks guys for all your help and advice. its much appreciated.

That offset won't do. Stock rims have an offset of 47mm. The lowest you can go is probably aroun 36mm. Don't use spacers or anything like that. Find replicas if you really like the rims.

[abemcclellan]

yeah i've never used spacers and i don't think i'd ever put them on my bimmer. i'm thinking about finding some good looking replicas somewhere. do replicas usually bend easier than the oems?
