Will E46 M3 18s fit on our 135i?

aarong_m3 · 08-13-2008, 05:38 PM

Does anyone have the E46 M3 18s on the 135i? I'm really interested in seeing them on it. I'm sure the fronts will work and not the rears.

Front 18x8 offset of 47mm

Rear 18x9 offset of 26mm

Is there a diff offset out there for the rears?

Fronts yes. Rears, not even remotely close.

The front should work just fine, but the rear is way too aggressive. You'd need an offset much higher than that..about twice that much

But that would definitely be a site to see if we can get the M3 wheels on the 1-series, huh?

Just run M3 fronts on all four corners if you really like the OEM M3 style wheels....

What about E46 330i 17" wheels? Would those work on a 135i?
