I have a set of Oz Supraleggara wheels that I used to have on a 2003 Z4 3.0i Sport. I sold the car with original wheels and have these OZ's sittng in storage.
Would these fit my 2000 E36 M3? The wheel widths are 8.0 front and 8.5 rear.

theres no such thing as a 2000 m3.
Ive had these wheels before, they will fit depending on offset ofcourse.

E36 M3's were built until March 2000 so.... the question remains.

Find the stock specs for the car, or use your current set-up's configuration as a base, then use the following tool to get your answer.
Do the measuring and math...ALL of it...and you'll be safe and sound.

Do you know the full specs of the OZs? Are they 17s, 18s, 19s? We need to know the offsets of the wheels as well. The full specs should be stamped on the back of the wheels somewhere. If you post those up I will be able to let you know how easy it will be to bolt these up on your e36.
If tires are mounted on them already also post those sizes as well.

After looking at both sets of wheels... they are both 17's. Inside the wheel of both is a code 8Jx17. Both have the same size tires 245/45R17 so it seems they are an exact match.
Thanks for responding. I'm clueless when it comes to wheel sizing. Learning as we go :)

The 245/45s are too tall for the e36. A 245/40r17, 235/40r17, or a 225/45r17 are the correct tire sizing for your car that you would want to run. Also a 245 on an 8" wide wheel is a little wide for my taste. Could you post the offset specs as well. They should be stamped on the wheel also.
This wheel is a 16x8 with a +23 offset.

This wheel is a 20x8.5 with a +52 offset.

Should look like something along those lines.
