5 series 18" or Z3 17"

solacebmw · 12-14-2006, 09:11 PM

I have an E90 325i non sport package. I am looking to upgrade my wheels. Possible options:

18x8
18x9
staggard wheels from what looks like an 5 series.

OR

17" wheels from an Z3 M roadster (deep dish)

I think both are 5x120 lug pattern. I think both will fit, am I right? Will the staggard rims mess up my odo and spedo? According to tire rack

17" should be 225/45-17 all around
18" should be 225/40-18 all around

Any thoughts? Thanks, new to BMW from Hondas so BIG change

Z3 wheels are nasty!

The ebay ad says the 5 series wheel are forged

And I dont think they fit, 5 series offset are to low

Yep, 5 series rims will not fit... They will protrude to far out.
