    E46 328i wheel size question

    I have an opportunity to pick up some VMR V710s from a guy with a 1 series. The measurements are:
    Front - 19x8.5 - 225/35/19 Sumitomo HTR Z 3 +45 offset
    Rear - 19x9.5 - 255/30/19 Michelin Pilot Super sports +50 offset

    I plan on replacing all tires with the MPSS but does the wheel dimensions including offset sound off for an e46? Thank you in advance.

    Surprisingly the offsets look to be similar to those sizing-

    The widths might be an issue in those offsets.

    the zhp e46 runs 255 out back. google those sizes and compare to yours with a tire calculator. if within 3% you will be fine.

    have seen statements that 265 out back will fit and 235 in front, but aspect ratio will matter of course.

    Yes. My primary concern was with the offsets. I was concerned with any possible rubbing or interference with the suspension and body
