Still haven't heard of anyone doing this but my dealer claims that a client put the stock 19" (8.5x19, 9.5.19) wheels on his E90 and is doing fine.

So anyone here done this know anyone that has?

Big themes I'm hearing are that the stock PS2's that come on the M3's wheels are too big for the hubs but also that the difference in offsets could be an issue....


but if you run a 225/35 in the frong and a 255/30 in the rear you are cool.

I'm really wanting to loose my stock 18" wheels and the RFT's and really love these wheels...

The rear offset is a little aggressive (I think it's +22), may need to roll the fenders to the max and run negative cambers for them to fit. The front should be ok.

Yeaaa, not psyched about the idea of rolling the fenders, I know plenty of guys do it but that is one thing I'm just not comfortable with doing under any circumstances.

why would you want original m3 wheels on e90? I can tell you why not: 1) offset, fender rolling, etc 2) price 3) replicas available that fit E90 with correct offset

Can't ague with that.

So show me some forged reps of the M3 wheel that will fit the E90 without the shenanigans and I'll be on that like a fat girl on cake.

Looked at tire rack and a few other places and haven't been able to find any yet...

Unfortunately, there are currently no "forged" reps of the 19" E9x M3 wheel. The current rep is made by Exclusive Alloys, model EXM4 & is low-pressure cast. Here's a link to the wheel/tire vendor forum http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=134

Supreme Power carries the rep http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150072

E92 M3 wheels fit fine on an E90, they don't however fit an E92.

I have them on my E91, and as long as you put regular size tyres on there is no problem, the M3 tyres however will not fit as the rears rub.

Nice, finally someone actually driving with this setup.

Which brand/size tires you using?

[Tallest]

isn't the tyre wheel combo of M3 is quite bigger then diamater of your non M 3 series? The 18 in that go on M3 look to have much more sidewall then comparable 18in for regular 3 series... this has been puzzling me for a while.

This makes sense because the E92 has less room inside the fender as compared with the E90/91.

However, we do offer the E92 M3 Style Wheels in the correct offsets for the E9X Non-M. These are in 19" with the OEM machined outer/gunmetal inner spokes and are JWL/VIA certified to ensure quality and strength.

Here's a pick on my car, got them from Nick. ^^^

Sorry I left my gas door open!

Yes, they are one profile up from the regular E9X's.
