E90 Style 162 Wheels on an E46?

I'm just curious if any one has ever put a set of these on their E46? I don't even know if it is possible, and whether or not they would rub. But heck, if the 18" e46 m3 rims will fit a non-M, i don't see why these wouldn't. I'm not planning on getting a set necessarily. More so I'm interested in how they would look. I eventually plan on getting some new shoes for my car, as my busted up old rashed stock wheels have seen better days. Pics anyone???

Personally, I think those wheels belong on the E90 only. But that touring does look very nice. Haven't seen many sedans with this setup though.

I just got one of these set, and put it on my 2001 Coupe, I'll post pic later. :)

Not bad they didn't seem like to heavy of a wheel I'm not sure of the weight but rode very nice.The only reason I had them is I picked them up for 150 bucks off cl and it was a upgrade from the 68's but as far as the looks I think they look better on the tourings or maybe if my car had coilovers and it was tucked it would have done it for me

would love to know if anyone is running four rears (18x8.5 et 37) itd be perfect on a sedan without needing spacers (IMO)

Had for about 2 years they fit fine FYI bout to drop with spacers and attempt to stance it

I'm lowered and run spacers (12mm) all 4 corners on a sedan with style 162's

Fronts 225-40-18

Rears 235-40-18

Note- different tires have different sidewall profiles, so not all tire sizes are equal- and that can be the difference between rubbing or not especially when running spacers, when millimeters count!

No spacers, no problems. I just put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 on with no rubbing. There is one deep dip that I have twice heard a short chirp but it may not be rubbing as I also redid my RTABs and put limiters on the bushings and I may have heard that.
I have had them for a few years now and never had a problem with them rubbing with other brands, so I don't think it is that but even if it is, it is minor as to be inconsequential.
