BMW Style 44 from E46

wmb0000 · 10-27-2010, 09:07 AM

Hi
I am interested in the BMW E46 style 44.

Offset is 47.

Would this fit an 2007 328xi sedan non-sport?

Here's the picture of that style I am talking about. I found that picture on ebay. :

you need spacers probably 15 both front and rear?

They wouldn't be a bolt on fitment
You would need AT LEAST a 15 mm spacer front and rear, likely more as the wheel width is only 8"

hmm .. I wanted to stay away from spacers. Never like spacers.

How about this:

It's from the 5-series ... A friend of a friend is selling these for a very good price.

You sure about that? I think the offsets will be too aggressive if they are E60 offsets...OP, why not just buy 3 series rims designed to fit the E90??

Yeah might have to go that route. But these are such are great price so it's hard to pass up.

Those rims are Style 138

17 X 7.5 ET 20

They front will push out by 8mm on pre-LCI and 11mm on LCI (that is reasonable)

the back will be almost the same as stock
