Hi guys - just wondering if these wheels will fit my E46. The tyres on the Alpina's are 235/40/17 & 255/40/17. Not looking to customise the arches if its not a straight fit and rubs the arches. Thanks.

The offset is very different and the tyres a lot bigger. They may bolt on but surely they are going to stick out of the arches and touch all over the place. Very council ! :)

So what you're saying is if I am to put these wheels on I'll have to modify the arches?

What is the offset on them? ive seen low offset wheels on E46's before but they were running stretched tyres.

I don't know - I'm taking them to the garage tomorrow to see what it looks like and if there's any rubbing on the arches which is most likely. Gonna see what options I have. Don't really wanna start messing around with the arches but the MV2 18's are just so common...need to stick something else on there and seeing as I've got a set of these Pina's - would be wrong not to try them :mad:

Stretched tyres and flaring the arches might work
