anyone with some rim knowledge can tell me if these will fit on my E36?
If some fender pulling is required Im okay with that, is stretched tires are okay I'm...okay with that too but I need to know for sure! Help!

That offset is way too low for your car. E36s need an offset of 38-42ish, not 20. They would stick out too far and definitely rub, if they fit at all.

Did the OE style 5's come in 18"?

Anyways, someone here had style 5 rims in his E36, they sticked out...

[DucHuynh007]

Apparently they did, but they are hard to find. If you read the thread someone with more knowledge chimes in and talks about it.

You could have a replica wheel but if it is BMW 5 Series wheel they will not fit the 3 Series.

Well I have some existing fender damage and I want to get them fixed so I figured I would get them pulled/ extended since the Et is 20ish. People get the style 5's on E36 before but not in 18s but I wasnt sure if 18 are possible. These aren't replicas, they are factory. Are you saying there is no way to get them on my car? Thanks for the help

If you pull the fenders out I suppose you could make it fit. If they are an E39 wheel you will need a centering ring to make the wheel hub centric.
