3-Series (E46, E90)Chat relating to the BMW 3-Series from 1999 to Current. Models include: BMW 316i, BMW 318i, BMW 318Ci, BMW 320i, BMW 323i, BMW 325i, BMW 330i, BMW 328 Ci, BMW 328i, BMW 325i/xi, BMW 330Ci, BMW 320d, BMW 330d, BMW 335d.
I always understood there to be a difference in the hubs of the 3, 5 and 7 series, hence not all wheels will fit another series. Might want to verify that with your dealership.
I dont think it will fit due to the offset. The tires on them like someone else said are probably to think, you would need like 40 series if they even do fit...
Does anyone know for sure?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????
I don't, but from what i can tell all bmw's have the same lug pattern (5 X 120mm). the offset is rarely the same between different models and years. the offset makes a huge difference in the stress levels in different suspension parts. The other major deciding factor is the inner clearance between the shocks/struts and the wheel. they make spacers to compensate for higher offset which cost around $200 for 4. i was looking into buying rims from a 2004-5 5 series to put on my e46 and from what i could tell and calculate i would need 1" spacers for them to fit. in my opinion the rims you want to put on would not be worth the extra $200 for spacers to make them fit, especially for the eBay price...
now for these rims i would consider spending $200 more.
