i know this isnt a bmw forum but would the oem e46 m3 rims fit on a e36 m3?

 

yes it will. offset and bolt pattern are the same.

 

wassup paul. spotted u today when u were trying to merge onto 238 ~2-3pm.


And to your question, sry i dont know

 

i'm assuming you are talkin about the 18" M3 wheels and not hte 19"

Just remember, rear offset on an E46 M3 wheel is low...a lot lower than the factory E36 M3 wheels

What Rau said about the offsets being is the same is NOT correct

Front e46 M3 wheels probably would work all around.....rears are iffy

 

thanks for the correction Zoeb.... that means my old parts director at Peter Pan BMW is lying to people.....

 

or just doesn't know the product

btw, i'm not saying they won't work, but I do know that the offset is a lot lower than stock (to look agressive on the flared fenders) and the width is 9" wide on em

 

yea coming home from chabot. where were you at?

 

so if i would purchase stock e46 m3 rims i would have to change the offset to fit a e36 m3? if i didnt want to bother with the offset i would be able to directly bolt it on?

 

I would believe Zoeb on the BMW wheel stuff. He sells dubs for a living y0.

 

well you can't change offset you make it higher, you can only change it to make it lower (via spacer)

You want a higher offset though, not a lower offset

 

never sold a BMW wheel in my life

I just know wheels and I know BMW's

 

driving the work truck in the carpool lane nice clean car as usual. haha everytime i see your car it's clean as hell.
