A friend of mine is selling 4 wheels they are style 65 (see pics), they came off a M5, they are 18", will these fit my 323i, 2000?? My suspension has no modifications.

Those wheels have an offset of 20 for the 8x18's and 22 for the 9.5x18's, which I don't believe will work for a 3 series. But someone else can confirm ....

 

I've seen pics of them on E46 Non-Ms so I think it will fit, but I'll let the pros step in.

 

4 fronts should fit

 

i have a set of style 65 m5 reps that fit our 3 series perfectly for sale $350 plus shipping if you want them, one has curb rash that needs to be fixed though but thats only about 100 bucks.

 

Technically speaking, those rims will fit without hitting any suspension components. In fact, they'll be poking out serious. The problem you're going to have is putting tires on them. That much poke will causing MAJOR rubbing in the back and will probably rub in the front too (not sure with factory suspension). No amount of fender rolling will help you in the rear. Maybe, MAYBE you could go for the stretched look on those rims, but that's not my thing. Don't know how much stretching is possible. You may have seen M5 reps on an e46 (with different offsets), but I don't think those OEM rims will look good.

 

XI Chee has them. not sure the sizes though. he has a thread about them in the showroom.

 

^ That looks soooo good :drool:

 

o god such hideous wheels!! :eeps::eeps:
lol jk
im running all 4 oem fronts only though because the previous owner of these wheels had 4 fronts only...wish i had the rears too

they will fit no probs...but the rears are like fitting oem m3's, your going to need spacers and thinner tires...the standard tire size from the m3/m5 will not fit...ask DTMDAN about it...

 

I received some of those rims. can I get them to fit my ZHP?

 

Here you go mine on...

Got a set of TEIN springs, with new bump stops, new end links etc and dropped it, blacked out grills, halo rings, blacked out headlight housing, interior trim paint match, aluminum pedals, LED tail lights, headlight flim, brand new bmw logos on trunk wheels and hood.

 

how did you get them to fit? aren't the offsets wrong?

 

nice car btw.

 

e39 have a different hub size - 74.1mm . E46 have 72.56mm, you need hubcentric spacers to fit them, if they are original BMW wheels (e39).
The style 65 have an offset of ET20 front & ET22 rear 8x18 front & 9.5x18 rear.

Original tires are 245/40R18 front & 275/35R18 rear (///M fitment). For the M-Tech sport versions (530 & 540), the OE tire size (to avoid rubbing) is 235 x 40 x 18 front and 265 x 35 x 18 rear.

Not sure what the size on e46 would be.

 

thank you. these style 65 came off my old e34. now i have an 346 330i ZHP. it came with 18's. original offset is 47 front and 50 rear. I know I need center rings. I was worried about the offset. 22mm difference. If I do the smaller tire width, then it should work i guess.

 

Standard M5 wheels (e39) won't fit an e46 period. Fender rolling is required due to the incorrect offset. What you see on a lot of e46's including mine are M5 replica wheels that were made with an offset for the e46.

 

Oh, ok. thanks
