Hey guys,

The new ///m6 wheels are gorgeous. Anyone know if they woulld fit on an e36?

[patrickrolfsen]

likely, but not sure; they would probably cost more than your car........

ha, probably. What size are they anyway. They might look a little too big for the e36

I'd worry about the offset being was off for an E36. Bolyt pattern is probably the same though. I'm sure there will be replicas all over ebay within a year though.

[Spahrman5]

those replicas are probably heavy as hell.

Or now.

[MackinE46]

no way will they fit! At least in the size they come in on the m6. Theyre 19s and are much wider, especially in the rear, than 8.5"

why?

[TboneM3]

Doubt they'll fit, thick offset like 5 series.

They will prolly be haevy because replicas are supposed to be cheap in price. So in order to make a similar looking wheel for less they have to use cheaper metals. But in order for it to still be a useable wheel they need to make them strong. So they use more cheap material to reach the a similar looking useable wheel. Basically you get to chose 2 of the 3. 1) Cost 2) Weight 3) Quality.

Good formula.

theyre 5x120 so the bolt pattern fits, you could probably pull your fenders and run some spacers with no problems. 38mm offset isn't too bad.

Aren't the OEM wheels über-wide? Like too wide to fit on the E36 given the offset?

[Daved]

The low offset on the M6 wheels is what makes them look hot. I don't think they look too good with the high offset for the E36.

i think the design of the wheel wouldnt look good on a e36.

I saw a set of OEM 19" 6-series wheels (no tires) sell in the bay area for $400. Sure looked good...
