winter wheels

Hey guys,

So this guy is selling a set of winter wheels on craigslist in my area. He took them off his wife's 99 323i. Does anyone know if they would fit on the 135i? He said they have been barely used and they are for a good price, so I would love to jump on this. Thanks in advance for your help.

What is the width and offset? If you can find that out it would help a lot. I'm not convinced they'll clear the brakes but we can give you an educated guess with the information above.

As far as I know the largest OEM wheel for the 323 was 16" at that time. The M3's came with 17" wheels.

If they are the OEM wheels for the 323 I doubt they would fit. They need to be at least 17" in diameter with a significant offest. Knowing the exact sizes would help.

In any case, unless he can cut you a great deal you might want to talk to Gill about buying a new set through him. Incredibly cheap.

edit: Actually I think the sport models came with 17" wheels.
