Newbie for tires please help

bartman32 · 03-18-2007, 11:42 AM

Hello everyone;
I'm looking for a little help. I had an E46 with 225/45R17 and I had a second set of rims and tires for the track. Now I've sold the car but am waiting for my new E92. Does anyone know if these old track wheels will work on my new E92?
Thanks for your help.

The bolt pattern is the same but offsets could be an issue. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

The majority of 17" wheels out there will not fit over the brakes of a 335i. Make sure to test fit brake clearance.

watch out for brake clearance..... also the offset will be off

what are the spec of your track wheels?

Not sure what the clearance is. Is that written somewhere on them? They are the same as the original '99 e46 stock sport wheels.
Thanks
