crazyarab 6 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) You might have a fight on your hands! Soo tempted. lol, well you do have the upper hand mate. You live in Auckland... If these were in Christchurch and I could see them up front AND they fit I really doubt I could hold back. Yup they will... but I see from your for sale thread you've already figured that out! Do it... those style 5's will look sooooo hot! I am still unsure... are you 100% certain? Edited September 4, 2008 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted September 4, 2008 they won't fit e36's without spacers to clear the brakes and guard rolling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 they won't fit e36's without spacers to clear the brakes and guard rolling WTF Where do you guys come up with your information? They have come off a 6 series = 5 series offset. 3 series and 5 series run different offsets = NOT COMPATIBLE!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zenetti 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Is there absolutely no way you can make them fit? Did you ask about the offset on TM? I noticed he has put 7jj which would indicate the wheels are 7" and NOT 8" wide. Short answer = no Long answer The wheels from a 5/6/7 series stick out too far on a 3 series. Just to clear things up the lower the offset the further out the wheel will sit. 5/6/7's generally run around 20 et factory. 3 series generally run around 40 et factory. Also the wider the wheel the further out it will sit as well. These wheels may just fit at the back but will defitiely stick out at the front = FAIL WOF!! If you run spacers as suggested earlier the wheel will stick out even further! I have some 16x7.5's here at 20 offset which I will stick on an E36 and take a photo for you and post up later to show how far out they sit. cheers Johno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 17x9.5 BBS RS on E30 M3 16x8 BBS RS 5x120 at ET20 offset - were on E30 M3 also... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) I think the e30 M3 runs similar offsets etc to a 5 series. E31/32/34 etc wheels fit on an e30 m3 without changes i believe...a direct fit. *edit* might need spacers? Edited September 4, 2008 by Creaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 correct E30 M3 = 5 series offset E36 M3 = 3 series offset E46 M3 = 3 series offset front, 5 series offset rear other than that 3 and 5 series are not interchangeable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
