? on fitting

evill1 · 09-27-2009, 08:38 PM

I have an 06 330i w/ 18's on right now.

I am looking at the following which is coming off an 05 325i

Borbet 17" wheels with 225/45 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 performance snow

Will they fit???

Thanks
Eric

Do you know the offset?

If they came off a 05 325i, they should fit, however I can't recall if the 330i has larger brake calipers than the 325i in 2006? That would be my only concern, in terms of of fitment.

Do not know it. If I had it I would have my answer... Stealer said to "just put em on and see if they fit"

I almost blew up

I cant imagine a 17in rim not fitting over the caliper since most 06's came with 17's. I might just roll the dice.

17 will be ok, its the offset that may not look right. I bought a set of OEM 17" wheels off an E46 3 series for snows but would have had to used spacers to make them look right. They had a 47mm et on an 8" rim. 30-35mm et is ideal for the "pre-lci" E90. I sold them and picked up a set of 17" take off rims from a new 2009 3er.

I did bolt one of them up and it fit fine, but that 47mm et was pretty tucked in. If I'd kept them I was going to use 12mm spacers front and rear.

47mm et vs 30-35mm et? what the diff

what is et? http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pts/1394826790.html

This is what I am looking at... I got DIBS! lol

47et is the offset in mm. If a 30mm offset is ideal for an 8" rim a 47mm et will be tucked inside the fender 17mm more than the 30mm

Now I am tracking. Forums are great! I use to be on the e46 back in the day. Always good stuff. So other than the tucked look there are no other issues right? Too narrow won't jack up the ride?!?
