[nef87]

Hi, i'm planning to buy a 17" 5 Style Wheels for my bmw e46 323i 99yr
And here comes my question, will they fit with no problems? I've read that im gonna need a Hub Centering rings, where can i get the ones that i need? and after getting them everything will be running smooth ?

Any cons why i shouldnt buy 5 style rims for e46 ?

Funny, I was going to ask the same question.

Looking to pick up E39 Tuning Forks

Im getting the wheels next week

Well that is not bad at all!

They are going to stick out of the wheel well. The offset is too low for the 3 Series. You would need a centering ring.

[Jim@tirerack]

We have the rings in stock at 3.00 each. Just give me a call if I can help.

you're going to need to run 205 or 215 wide tires to not rub..

They won't fit, they are beautiful rims, wish I had bought a 5 with them on there, I would have never replaced them. 5 Series is a 15mm offset, 3 Series is a 40mm offset, buy some 3 rims

i just got some e39 bbs style 42s 18'' want them on my e46 saloon what would i need to do ??

[Jim@tirerack]

You would need a centering ring and change the offset. The E39 wheels are going to stick out because the offset is wrong.

[stebro]

the front offset is 20 & rears are 24 i know i will have to mod the rear arches but what tyres would i need ?

[Jim@tirerack]

What are the widths on the wheels?

[stebro]

8j & 9j

[Jim@tirerack]

You would want to run a 225/40R18 and 255/35R18. With the offset of the wheels you are going to have to roll the fenders and run more negative camber to make them work.
