E90 vs E36/46 Fitment

SDemetris · 01-03-2013, 09:13 PM

I was looking on tire rack for wheels for my E90 and for some reason I decided to look under a different car. (Too much free time).. But what happened was when I looked for wheels for a e36 or e46, more options came up. I dont think the wheel bolt pattern/ center bore has changed since those generations so is that just a fault with the website or will those wheels actually not fit my car? I am pretty sure they will clear my brakes and I cant think of any other reason they would not list them when searching for my car.

Offset differences.

So the offset difference would cause the wheel to hit my caliper? Could i fix that with spacers?
