18x9 Wheels Fit on the Rear of an e36?

[HandOfFate]

Hello all, will 18x9 wheels fit on the rear of a stock 1992 325is? I'm thinking about going 18x8 with 225s on the front and 18x9 with either 245s or 255s on the rear.

I'm looking at these m5 Replica wheels on eBay:

Any opinions on the quality of the wheels would also be appreciated.

Well, the seller says they will fit

I tend not to trust eBay sellers on fitment. The last set of wheels I got off ebay for my old car stuck out a good inch.

Well, with the offsets and widths the seller posted, they "should" fit. You may end up having to roll your fenders depending on the size tire. I'd go 235 front and 245 rear. 255 might fit out back with some fender rolling.

Damn!!!
Blitzer, it's really rare that I see a tastefully modified E36 on this forum but yours is definitely one of the nicest I've ever seen. Did you roll your own fenders?

Also, is that an actual GruppeM intake or is it a replica? I just bought one and I'm not incredibly impressed with it.
