Could spacers or anything help...
I see a great set of rims but they're from a 330i...
18" 8.5 front with 225/40 & 18" 9.5 Rear 255/35

No worky or possible?

No, 3 series have different offset.

What kind of offset are we talking then? I'm in the same position. I'm interested in wheels that will fit an E39 and I need it for my E36. Wondering if spacers will help.

you'll need a 20mm spacer at least

The offser for the E39 M5 wheels are 20 F and 22 R. The standard 3 series neesd to be at least 35 or greater offset to not rub the fenders.

No worky or possible?you would need to run a spacer. probably not worth it though.

actually, even with a spacer, you would not be able to run e46 rims on an e39. this is due to the e39 having a larger hub than the e46.

Thanks for the info....

How about OEM 18" M-Parallels from a 7 series?

unfortunately no. also for the same reason, e39 has a larger hub than the e38.
