Apex 693 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 Do E36 and E46 share the same offset. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 Yes, I believe so. However, the E46 M3 and E36 have different ideal offsets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 More or less yes. Optimal offsets for E36 are ET5 - 20 with an 8" rim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 From what it reads on Jono’s website they are the same. I have stalked out a lady driving a E36 325i with factory style 5 option, was just checking before I make an offer on them.. they would look nice on a E46 with a chrome package is my thinking. Cheers guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 The range is between ET35 & ET41 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 Dude, wtf, wrong and you know it. on Peters car this is the optimal offset. E36 factory wheels would be closer to the +35-40 mark on an 8" right? Yongxi has the factory E36 Style 5's Can't remember the offset though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 Ok, you bring it up here and I'll drive it up and down my road and we'll see how optimal it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2010 The range is between ET35 & ET41 This is the closest to being correct. Depending on the width you can run anything from a +30 to a +45 using the correct size tyre. All these other cars that all younger members seem to drool over probably wouldn't get a warrant here in NZ. Tyres the wrong size, car too low etc. Not to mention massive amounts of custom guard work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted September 2, 2010 Lol, that POS of sh*t would not keep with my 1.3 corolla on a back road, would look way better on the high street though. Appreciate the suggestions but I care little for street cred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted September 2, 2010 Lol, that POS of sh*t would not keep with my 1.3 corolla on a back road, would look way better on the high street though. High Street in Town? It wouldn't even make it down there. Speedbumps are ridic. Relevant info: E46 M3 Rears are lower offset, +20 AFAIK and "won't fit" an E36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
