Hi, I'm really new to this site and I really know absolutely ZERO about tires/wheels.

I currently have a E46 323i sedan, and I need to buy tires really bad. Since I got the stimulus check and a decent tax refund, I'm really interested in getting these CSL style wheels for my 323i.

Here's a pic: (I also have a silver 3)



BUT, I really want to get a 128 or 135 in maybe the next year or so, so I didn't want to throw money away on wheels/tires that I wouldn't be able to use.

My question is, if I get these, will they fit on a 1 series? If not, I'll just go ahead and save money by just getting tires for my 3, but I absolutely love the CSL style and I think they'd look great on a future 1...

Thanks if anyone can enlighten me. I have no idea what's all this about offset and all that.

This has been asked a few times before. The problem with the 1series is the front application. Stock is 7.5" with 49 offset, these are 1" wider with 10mm more offset. My guess is they would stick out of the fenders and who knows if they clear the 6-piston Brembos.
