    Will e36 m3 contour wheels fit a 2001 330xi?????

    I have a 2001 330xi bmw with 3 bent rims. Someone i found on yelp said they have a set of e36 m3 contour rims. He assures me that they will fit and i won't have a problem. Does anyone know if they will actually fit or not??

    Aren't Contours staggered? Aren't you not supposed to run staggered on AWD cars? outside of that, you can look up the wheel specs here http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ contours are style 23. no idea what a stock 330xi came with

    They physically will bolt up and be usable, but if they are staggered you should not run them on your car since your car is all wheel drive. The tire size needs to be the same on an all wheel drive car or it messes things up

    No they aren't staggered. All 4 are the same size.

    You can run them with a 205/50R17 front and 225/45R17 rear. These sizes are the same diameter and will not mess up the differential. My C300 4 matic has staggered tires and a lot of the BMW's X drive run staggered sizes.
    If I can help let me know.
