E36 15" wheels on 2000 E46 328ci

I am looking for some winter rims and there is a set of OEM 15" wheels for sale locally. Will these fit my 2000 328ci? I believe the standard wheels are 16" on the 328ci and I have the sport m68 17" wheels on mine. This is my first post here as I just bought the car last week.

They will most likely not fit as the 328 need 16" wheels to clear the bigger 328 brakes. The E46 328 (yours) has 300 mm front rotors whereas the E46 323 has the smaller 286 mm front brakes and will accept a 15" wheel.

There might be some random 15" wheels that would fit your 328, but an OEM wheel won't.

Thank you. That is the info I was looking for. I posted this question yesterday in 3 different locations on the forum (because no one was replying) and this is the only reply I received.
Thanks again.
