Will E46 M3 rims fit?

I have my ZCP rims from my E46 M3 and just wanted to know if they would fit my F30 328i with H&R super sport springs. The sizes are 19" x 9.5" with a 27mm offset for the rear and 19" x 8" for the front with a 47mm offset. Thanks

Your front is fine, might need spacer.

Rear is aggressive for the F30, you can pull it off by running stretch tires and some negative camber. I would suggest 255/30-19 in the rear.

I would say... absolutely not. I am putting ZCP relica's on for the winter.

My rears are 9.5" w/ +38 offset, and they are 9mm out from stock (which is essentially flush w/ the fender). Your rims would stick out another 11mm (so 20mm vs. stock setup). Will look really bad and will for sure hit the fender.

Fronts - I am going w/ a 8.5" w/ +35. Stock is 8" w/ +35 offset, so you are going to be really far inward (+12mm) and would suspect that you might hit a number of components on the inner wheel well).

Thanks for confirming what I already thought. I guess I'll sell them and go with a different set-up
