I’ve always been a fan of the MV2’s on the E46. They’re 18s, and staggered. Could be a good option for you 

Thanks looks good ??

are you keen on a set of style 193M in shadow chrome? very tidy fitment on E46

18x8 ET 34 - 225 40 18

fitment on the style 135 /MV2 is really bad. take a look at this car with those wheels

no bad as in bad. the wheel is totally tucked in due to the high offset. 

see below: thats like a 1 inch gap between the wheel and the arch --> ugly!

yep, best to get the correct offset, and (preferably) the correct CB.  Sourcing your wheels from M46 (non-M3) or e90 (non-M3) would be your best bet.

my ride...

don't see a lot of these wheels around:

Style 71 reps with better offsets than the originals.

18x8 & 18x9 et35 F+R

nice offset and widths

The e46 really deserves a wider wheel in the rear. 9 or 9.5 wide in the rear is about right imo. I think 10 is too wide, and 8.5 too narrow.

[qube 3568]

9 is better but 8.5 is alright if the tyre size is 255 imo!
