and i'm pretty sure it's original. the rear appears lower than the front.

i'm thinking worse case i will have to roll the rear fenders.

the new 18s are staggered with 225s in the front.

i was thinking of getting 225s on all 4 corners but would have to sell the rear wheels. I believe the rears should be 18 x 9.5? but honestly am not sure. What ever came stock on 18s for a E46 330i.

Here are the wheels i'm talking about.

But aren't those made for the E36 with 40++ offset? I think any 18" rims wtih anything shy of 40et and stock fenders will rub.

For example, I had 18x8.5 Et 38 with 255 35 18 on NON rolled fenders and I was pretty low in the back and the fender literally sat on the tire. Even rolling the fender looked like it wouldn't do nothing.

I put on 225's and not a single rub or problem......yet.

Yes, proper offset with be critical. Should need 40-45mm.
