Hmm well as far as I remember e46 m3 front clearance is the same as normal e46's. M3 front wheels certainly are the same widths and offsets as normal e46s. On that basis I would look at how Phil had his fitted and take your cue's from that. Id guess -3 degrees camber and a 225/235 and you wont be far off fitting.
I see I was under the impression that the M3 had wider archs on the front as opposed to non M cars? If thats not the case then life is good!
Are these available in E39 centre bore?? And did you ever fit a set to your E39 tourer Bon? If so, please say you got a pic I'm getting close to giving up on finding good spec 18's, so Rota's are making sense What size tyres do you reckon for E39 with an 8.5J/10J stagger?
Big, slap you in face for being a gay, sized tyres unless you buy 10s all round. Pretty sure they dont do e39 centre bore (well mine didnt need spiggot rings anyway) but its easy enough to get them machined out a bit.
Oh, its just on ebay, DW shop have listed them as E39 fitment?? BMW Rota Grid 18" Wheels. 18x10&8.5 E34 E39, E36 E46 M3 on eBay (end time 15-Mar-10 15:20:50 GMT) 10's all round?? I have enough trouble with steering boxes giving shitty feel, let alone screwing things up worse with 10's on the front!!
Oh they might be then Ed. Tbf mine were fitted on 3mm slip ons as well so either way I wouldnt of used spiggots. It felt fine having the 9.5s on the front of mine mate. I dont think 10j on the front of the e39 is particularly big tbh. As long as you stick to 235/245 ish tyre size they would be fine imo. Plus, again iirc, the 8.5's would need a spacer to work on the e39.
Hi there first off the wheels on this beemer look amazing and i dont usually like the look of the E36's are these 8.5 on the front and what size tyre is this? Would i also be able to come down and look at a few wheel colours against my car? Im looking to get some for my audi s2 avant i bought a set from ebay but didnt realise they were bmw fitment (i can use pcd correction bolts with 5x114.3's to get them to fit) Cheers Graeme
Got any better picture of Rota Grid 8.5x18 et 35! Looking for some new wheels for my BMW E46 Compact! Did see some pictures of a Silver Golf 4 with some Rota Grids.. They was very concave! Maybe those was 9.5's?
do you have an actual picture of the Grids in 17x9" 5x120mm ET35? before buying I would like to see how concave the spokes are in this size. thanks in advance!
Yea it did, got a pic on may facebook so would be rude not to... Rotas WILL be on the next BMW i get (unless im lucky an get a 4dr R32 )
