Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the B10 Alpina alloys fit the E36?


Kind regards.

Although both cars have the same 5 x 120 PCD I think the E36 is 35 to 45 offset & the E34 is 15 to 25 offset so there may be problems with fitting.

I have tried this with e34 alpina's they do fit the e36 but seem to stick out of the arches and would rub excessivly.

It's a bit exagerated as these are et13's, but you get the idea.

Possibly may need wider arches, or just some serious rolling!!

Anyone know how wide the wheels are on the rear of these B10 wheels? Is it 8J front & 9J rear?


Kind regards.

They will go on, if the car is lowered that can cause issues, but you can forget it if your going with the B10 tyre size, you will need a fair stretch to be able to do it.

9.5J wide iirc.

Def wont fit nicely, diff offset on the e34 rims, more hassle than worth imo

Good luck though

They will fit nicely, if you like the euro look. 215/ or 225/40/17's and you will have them on, a set of Gaz (rebound adjustable) coilovers for cheap money and you will have a car with a trick stance.
