Fitment of M3 rims (reps) on E92 335i

qubansailor · 10-28-2010, 02:36 PM

Hey guys, I found this M3 rep that I'd like to have on my car but I am concerned about fit. They have them in 18" and 19" Here is the link.

Does anyone have a recommendation as to what would be the best look/fit (18 or 19) without having to do any mods like rolling fenders. Thanks.

+40 offset is really conservative for 8 and 9 inch wide wheels, you'll need spacers for the front and especially the back.

Doesn't **********s have them with the correct offsets - i.e. 35 front and 33 rear for an E92?

I've looked over the links as provided and I do want to let you know that the 18" with the ET40 is far too conservative for your car and will be too sunken in. It's going to require you to use spacers to get the setup to fit correctly on your car. I do want to let you know that we do have the E9X M3 Style wheels available in both 18" and 19" in the optimal 3 series fitments. Please see below for the setups that would work best.

18x8.0 ET35 / 18x9.0 ET35
19x8.5 ET35 / 19x9.5 ET35

These E9X M3 Style Wheels are manufactured to meet the highest performance, quality, and safety standards in the industry. The wheel passes JWL and VIA standards to ensure the highest level of safety and quality. I'll go ahead and send you over a PM with more details!

Alan, what would be the proper tire sizes for your rims?

The setups that will work are as follows:

18x8.0 ET35 with a 225/40/18 in the front and 18x9.0 ET35 with a 255/35/18 in the rear
19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/3519 in the front and 19x9.5 ET35 with a 265/30/19 in the rear

Let me know if you have any further questions for me!

I have a 2006 330i with base suspension 17" and like the pics of the "E9X M3 Style Wheels" from **********s. Anybody make this switch? How do they look up close? I won't make a change that looks aftermarket.

The E9X M3 style wheels are sporty and classy, which make them a perfect wheel choice for those who do want an aggressive wheel yet maintain an OEM look. I can't send you over a PM due to your low post count so email me here at Alan************.com and I'll get you some more info. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the E9X M3 style wheel installed on a few E90 just like yours!!

Thanks for the additional pics. That M3 OEM look is how I'm going to mod my car. The switch will not happen until March since I want to get through the winter with the 17" OEMs in place. I'll change to these or something like them with summer non-RFT rubber.
18"x8" or 18"x8.5" at all 4 corners. I want the offsets to be right. No spacers or anything else needed.
