Suitable wheels with M3 running gear.

[jaistanley]

I just bought me some M3 running gear for my 318is and now have to get some wheels and tyres to fit the 5 stud setup....

What is the standard size wheels, tyres and offset on an M3?
Which other wheels can I use? IE will E36 wheels be the correct offset, what about any other cars in the range?

Ideally I'd love 16" or 15" Standard looking BBS wheels. Perhaps some of the slightly different ones on older 5 series would do? I'd like them to be as light as possible and accomodate the 280mm disks (or perhaps bigger with 4 pots). A cheap solution would be cool.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance guys..

Jai

you have to stick to e30 m3 and 5 series stuff unless you want to run spacers e36/46 stuff is et41+

the e30 m3 ran with 16" BBS wheels and looked identical to the 15" ones found on the sports and some 318is's.

look pretty cool too.

I have a set of clean M3 15" BBS wheels with decent tyres and good caps , Ԛ£250 . E34 wheels will not fit (clearance issues on front ).

the 16in bbs from an e30 m3 look diiferent as the lip arrangement is all different....... have a look at a pic of one and u will see

Hi Jai!

Pete is a top bloke and thats a fair price for e30 m3 15in wheels, asz u'll know after telling u how much i spent on mine the other day.

In fact the running gear i sold u is from Pete!

Hi Karan.. Been yelling at my mates to get/build 327's since the other day! Cant get that exhaust note out of my head...

Gonna send an IM to pete now then... Cant really affford it now though!!

I think the 15" BBS's are the way to go. Want it to look standard.

Pete, if you dont get the PM, I'm interested in the wheels. Where abouts are you?
