i imagine the offset will be too low.

no doubt they can be made to fit with some arch massaging and carefull tyre choice, but they wont be a simple bolt on job.
cheers,

they will clear the struts with any problems

depending on the tyres size they should be fin an clear the arches.

you often see e34 offset wheels on e36's and with e46's having a larger wheel arch area you should be ok

at 8.5 front and 9.5 rear i could see it being a very tight fit. i expect option 10 inch rear would a no go!
