261 wheel fitment question... & an expert photoshop attempt

Mike01ci · 11-30-2009, 12:52 AM

Will the stock 261s from my 2009 135i M-Sport fit on a 1995 e36m3?.... Does anyone have any clue if they will fit or where I could find this out?

--my brother really wants the 261s for one of his old m3s and will buy me the wheels of my choice in exchange.... He doesn't want the tires or the tpms (so I will be selling the 5000 mile stock rfts if I go w/ a 19")... so not a bad deal for either of us (if they fit).....
--here is my 10 second photoshop attempt (zero time was spent on this, it was just to get an idea):

You'll need spacers, probably 12mm minimum. The offset on the 1er is too high compared to the e36, making the wheels be inboard too far. (I tried mounting them on my e36).
