Will Hartges rims for e46 fit my e90

kekoa · 03-06-2006, 12:17 AM

Hi guys, i have a chance to pick up a set of 19" hartge classics that were on an e46 330ci. the specs are as follows:
8 x 19 Front with 40(f) offset
9x19 Rear with 46(R) offset

I beleive the e90 set up calls for 33 and 36 front and rear offset, respectively.

Will i have any issues if i also plan to drop the car with H&R race springs. Or will I also need spacers??

Fronts will tuck in around 6mm or so compared to stock

Rears will tuck in around 3mm or so compared to stock

You'll need big spacers on all corners to fix that.

big spacers huh? So do you think its worth going for it? My buddy was going to sell me the wheels for a killer price.

No, you would need to run spacers on all corners. Not good to have spacers in the front, IMHO.

Spacers are okay, but I stay away from the big ones, if your rims are that far off, you need new rims, not bigger spacers.

I think 15-mm spacers in rear will be okay in your case. The front with 6mm tuck in won't look noticeably different with the naked eyes since the front OEM is already sticking out enough. For those wheels with spacers, I would recommend to go with tire sizes 235 or even 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear to compensate the tuck-in.
