Re: m3 wheels, will they fit?

Will the wheels work fine as they are or do I need spacers for them to work with the tyre size you suggest?

Re: m3 wheels, will they fit?

Good stuff!!
Mine will only be 17x9 at the back as opposed to your 17x9.5
Hopefully they go on without a hitch!!
Thanks

Re: m3 wheels, will they fit?

Will the wider arches on the m3 mean that they won't stick out as much?
I'm just hoping that they'll be ok as I've been chasing these wheels for a while now!!

m3 wheels, will they fit?

I'm in the process of buying some 17'' BBS RY wheels for my m3
They are 17x8 at the front and 17x9 at the rear, offset is 15,
Will these go on the car without any work?
What size tyres should I put on them to ensure there is no fouling of the arches etc?
The car is completely standard btw

Nice car mate.. :cool: Identical to my old one that ive just sold. Word of caution about the Supersprint exhaust. If you plan on fitting the stainless racing system then be prepared to be deafened! Its got no centre box and the booming inside the car is just too much to bear! I fitted one on mine a...

This is probably a very simple one but having a German owners book doesn't help,
