hi guys, i have an e36 cabby, does anyone know if a 9j wheel will fit with an offset off 37? managed to barter for a set of bmw csl alloys with excellent tyres for an absolute steal and if they dont fit ill sell them on, anyone help?

they should be ok, you might need to roll the rear arch lip, but shouldnt need anything major.

standard e36 m3 evo wheels are 8.5in et41, so using a 235 or 245 tyre on a 9in et37 will only push the tyre 4mm closer to the arch.
cheers,

harry

CSL wheels are 19's so I'd say arch work would be required

Genuine CSL wheels are 9.5J rear and 9J front.

genuine csls also have a lower offset than et37 don't they?

i assumed that at et37 they'd be reps for a normal bodied e46
cheers,
