Style 40 M Roadstar on '00 328i?

John in VA · 10-27-2009, 08:45 PM

Will these fit my E46 without any spacers or different lug bolts, or fender rolling? The front tires are 225/45-17 and rear 245/40-17 Kumho ECSTA ASX. I guess the wheels are 7.5x17 and 9x17 - haven't heard back from seller.
My 328i is stock in height and brakes, running the usual 17x8 Style 44s with 225/45-17s.
Thanks in advance!

It will not fit with those tire sizes. the only way to make them fit is rolled fender lips and narrower tires.

they said M3 rims wont fit a non M. i saw a thread last night where it was not only proven wrong, but it was rather mild.
i suspect these are the same offset as M3 rims, so id say yes, they will fit...

et41 according to them...http://data.bmrparts.com/bmwparts/18368692026409U.html

will def fit.... altho you might need spacers in the back

Offset for front M Roadstars is 7.5x17 is 41mm, rear 9x17 is 8mm. I've never seen an offset that low.
My style 44s are 8x17 ET47.

no that is the front wheel at et 41

the rear wheel, 9", is et 8

snikwad · 10-28-2009, 01:20 AM

It's correct. 17x9 ET8. The M Roadsters and Coupes have insane amount of space in the rear. A customer used 20mm spacers to get 18x9.5 ET21 rear wheels flush with the rear fenders. With the right offset you can fit 11" wide rear wheels.
