The 318iS has the same break set-up as the 325i.

Are you saying the wheels fit a 320, but not a 325i???? bit confused by your question.

If they fit a 320 but not a 325, I assume they foul the 325 brakes? If so, they wont fit an Is. That said, the 320i and the 325i brakes are the same size, with just a tiny bit of extra width in the calipers and disks. Not enough to make a difference I'd have thought?

E30 wheel stick out on VW's so I assume you'll need (10mm I think??) spacers to fit properly but someone will be able to tell you exactly.
