i have some e46 18" rims from the m3 2001
and i want to put them on my 335i coupe 2007

will they fit?

some people say u need spacers in the front?

has anyone had problems without spacers?

NiVeDh · 09-15-2011, 02:55 PM

What are the widths and offsets?

Gavin@MMW · 09-15-2011, 02:58 PM

front is a 47et I think, so you need a 10mm spacer for a nice fit.

if you leave it, it will rub the suspension - which you dont want.

If you can get us the width and offset or the style of the wheel we`ll be able to make a better recommendation. Are they OEM wheels?

Gavin@MMW · 09-15-2011, 04:00 PM

they are 8" wide fronts and 9" rears, et47 front and et25 rears IIRC..

OEM M3 E46

8$ sounds cheap, too cheap for good quality spacers. And I'd get 12 or 15mm spacers, making it ET35 or ET32.

This. 8$ is probably a generic, not hub centric spacer. meaning, you dont want it on your BMW.

Id go with a 20mm spacer up front making it 18x8 et 27 make sure you get proper hubcentric spacers that are actually made for bmw's and not universal
