05 Rims on my 95 325i vert?

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/3704433041.html

Can anyone tell me if these rims will fit my 95 325i vert? Currently has the 15" style 13 I believe. Not very nice at all. Thanks for any help_a_

They will fit if they're 8.0 to 8.5 all the way around

Also depending on what tires you choose to go with . Most likely a low profile

It depends on wheel diameter, width, offset, tire dimensions, and ride height. Each spec affects every other one. You can't just say if they're 8.0" or 8.5" they will fit.

Thanks for the responses guys. These rims sold but I found another set and had already purchased and installed them before my post was "approved" by the moderator. They are actually 7" rims with a slightly different offset from a later model 3 series and I had no fit issues whatsoever. Big difference in the look of the car. I will try and post some before and after pics if I can figure out how. Thanks again.

Agreed, those wheels look great!

EDIT:
Don't let Matt see you calling then rims, else you'll be the recipient of his lecture. :thumbup

Like Chad, I am far too lazy to double check Swype.

That's an incredible price and the wheels look great on your car! Nice buy!

Any errors in this post are purely Swype's fault, not mine.

Those wheels look really good on your car. They look much better on your e36 than they do on the e46.
