will E46 M3 18" rims fit on 1M?

E82M · 01-30-2012, 07:11 PM

Friend's friend is selling his E46 M3 wheels with winter tires for real cheap and I was thinking about buying them.
Seller says they are genuine E46 M3 wheels 18x8.5 all around and he doesn't know the offset.
Tires are pirelli snowsport 210 size 245/45/18 all around.
Will it fit? And would I need spacer and extended lug bolt to make it look right?

They are a bit narrow don't you think?

correct me if I'm wrong, but the e46 M3 rims shouldn't be 8.5" wide all around no?

Or perhaps they are front wheels on all four corners?

the front wheels on E46 where 8 or 7.5". The original winterwheel set-ups where the M Double spoke 68 in 7.5x17 or the double spoke 164M in 7.5x18.
The ET for front and back differ in there set-ups!

Yeah I thought they were 8". Perhaps the widths listed by or given to the OP were incorrect.

I tried this but both front and rear E46 M3 wheels do not fit over the 1M's brake calipers.
