I found some 19" rims that are on a 2002 convertible m3. I want to put them on my 99 m3 convertible. I have the older e36 body style for 1999. The rims that im looking at are 8 inch in the front & 9.5 inch in the rear. Like I said they are on a newer body style m3. If someone can let me know I would be really cool. Thanks in advance

:mad: They use the same lug pattern 5 x 1.20. If its the offset than I really dont understand becuase they are the newer bodystyle convertible and they arent rubbing. Please a little more detailed explaination is needed tahn just a NO

The rear wheels of the E46 M3 have a different offset and will not fit on an E36.
Well, at least Bruce N was more verbose than the other person who shares his name.
No, the rears will not fit because the offset of the 9.5" wheel (27mm) will, essentially, push the outer edge of the wheel too far away from the car. It will not fit under the fender without some serious modifications.
The biggest wheels I've seen fit under an E36 (with only rolled fenders) are 9" wide with an offset of 40-42mm.
