FS: OEM 18 E46 M3 Wheels and Tires

[Cabby]

18's w/ Conti's. Plenty of tread left, asking 1300.

Pics, they are in perfect condition, and I mean PERFECT, not a single scratch!:

Hey--

I have heard mixed stories--yes and no--about wether these will fit my car or not.

I'm ready to buy rims 5 minutes ago, and these are the ones I want. If they will fit, I'll almost surely buy them. There is a DTM Annapolis meet this friday--Tomorrow. If you are going to be there I would like to pop the back wheel off and see if the offset kicks it out too far...if it isn't bad--i will deal with it or get thinner tires.

Thanks-

Jeff

No mixed stories... the M3 rears are too wide for the non-M E46's. You would have to roll your fenders.

[Jeff 325Ci]

Thank you for your reply--

But I have heard mixed stories

I have seen a Non M3 E46 running staggered 18" M3 wheels. I know the fenders would have to be rolled, thats no doubt. The question isn't the width-it's the offset. The 330 I saw with staggered 18" M3 rims had thinner tires than what comes on the back m3 wheels so they fit-

[Cabby]

Your best bet is to take the stock dimensions of the E46 M3 tires and rims, and ask your shop if its going to work. You will have to roll in the rear on a non-M3. I cant really sell the rims without the tires on them.

[Jeff 325Ci]

I'm not asking for the rims without the tires-I would simply replace the rear ones if they wouldn't work.

I'm going to check to see if they will work--Even if the stock ones won't work I can always replace the rear tires-

If they will work either way. I want them

[Cabby]

I sent you a PM, I'll work with ya and bring them to you, but I only want to make that trip once, so let's be sure first ;)

[Jeff 325Ci]

Thanks-

I will figure out what the deal is today and let you know

I'm not familiar with b-fest layout so i don't know how to check my PMs, but I'm going to check and see if I can make them work.

Thanks

these wheels are in excellent condition. Seen them, not a single scratch.

as for fitting on non m-cars. YOu are gonna have to roll the fenders and run skinner tires in the rear. But this has been done on non M car. Go to DTMpower and do a search there. I know some guy in texas has it on his 330ci.

Good luck!

I'm still looking for OEM rims for my M3 (for track use). Unfortunately, I'd *prefer* them a little kerb-ed or scratched, since I'm probably going to beat them up.

With yours being mint, I might not want to pay the premium for that, although I suppose I could use the contis at some point.

PM me if still available and we'll talk...

I Believe they are still available, but Cabby is in Vegas right now. I will tell him when he gets back.
