Does anyone know the ET difference between E46 and E92 M3 models

[Serjames]

To be honest I don't think this is public klnowledge...

Lots of people post E30 offset for the e90 but i believe 28 to 34 will work

For the E92 it is DEFINITELY different.

Nearer to E34 to start with I believe.

I found E92 to be

ET 23 rear
ET 29 front

Just need E46's now

[Serjames]

wow that IS different from what I read.. sheesh.

Just goes to show eh !

[G33]

optimum ET for e92 (non M) is ET33 (9.5inch) on rear and ET35 (8.5 inch) on front

even ET 30 will rub every now and then on e92. u might be lucky that u might not get rubbing, its down to the tolerance of how the car is built. however u can easily get away with ET30 on an e90 cos theres more room under the rear arches

however e46 M3 rear is ET27 and i think ET30 front! thats all i know off the top of my head!

so what u got your eye on now creepy?

I've seen a set of E46 M3 wheels and tyres, and wondered if they go on mine
G33

TBH I'm more intereted in the tyres

[G33]

ahh i c. e46 m3 tyres have a larger profile, so it wud knock youre speedo and gearing out by a percent or so

Actually they have the same profile G33, but your correct because I'm running 40 front 35 rears. so with the extra inch I'd end up with the wrong speedo reading, if I'm going 19" I need 35 fronts 30 rears, or was that what your were trying to say

[G33]

confused! i forgot that u were on the 18s, but im positively sure the 19inch e46 m3 tyres are a different profile to e92 msport 19s as i remember mine to be much fatter in profile

GOOD FIND SuperB "

i'm thinking of purchasing these rims from Kelleners in Germany:

measurements:
front 8.5 x 19 ET 35
rear 9.5 x 19 ET 22

Do you reckon these should be a good job? I'm hoping to lower my e92 with h&r sport springs, and hope there's not too much rubbing.

[Serjames]

Wow alpini that looks really good !

Would look awsome with some white calipers under there too !

Very different !

[alpini]

yeah they're like nothing i've seen before - come in matt black, black sheen, silver and gunmetal - thinking i'll go for matt black as in the pic.

[Serjames]

matt black is very brave and unusual for the UK... looks great !

although not the whole wheel is black - the outer surface is polished silver while the inside of the spokes and the inner rim is matt black. hopefully will look ok - so hard since there's no 'real-life' photos to be found...!

mate i hate to say this but ET22 on the back will rub like hell, especially lowered!!! u need to roll your arches and add a lot of negative camber...
