Dr T Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) knee jerk reaction says the M3 rears wont fit without a lot of work the E90 spec ones should be ok but might need a little arch work (like a roll) pretty sure there are peeps here running those sizes so i'm sure you'll have a concrete answer pronto,.

dazza Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I run four rear 18" 9j et27 wheels on my loon and run 225/40's all round and rears are set on quite a negative camber and rear arches have been rolled but have no rubbing and I'm quite low on coilovers. I'm sure an 18" 9.5j rear et20 would take quite a bit more work to fit? But the e90 spec ones should be fine with a arch roll but I'm sure someone will clarify this Edited October 10, 2012 by dazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the e90 spec ones should be fine with a arch roll but I'm sure someone will clarify this yeah , I mean I want them to stick out and look aggressive but without having to much rubbing , I'm hoping with 225s on a 9.5 It won't be to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabaza Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 e9x fitment fine with no rubbing, u could probz get away with 5mm spacers if you roll archees and dropped it. m3 fitment - id suggest you buy an m3 to fit on E46garwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 M3 rears are not ET20, so the ones you've mentioned will stick out 7mm more. Bit of a ballache me thinks. dazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cos01 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 or get an m3 shell http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/parts-and-plates/parts-and-accessories/bmw/bmw-e46-m3-bodyshell/759699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
