Rims Size

[akajee]

Hi guys,

I have a 325i e46. Whats the biggest size rim I can fit? I am looking at a 265 / 35 / 19 vossen.

Btw. They came off a 335i.

sedan? Coupe? M3?

You could even fit a 20" wheel but offset and tyre will determine correct fitment.

Why a 35 profile By the way?

Tyre sizes should be 235.35.19 fronts and 265.30.19 rears

Not sure if 265 will fit at the rear without arch modifications (if it's a sedan).

Okay, my cousin had it on his 335i and he offered it to me. It has tyres already. I dont know the offset. I have a 2004 e46 325i sedan. It has the std 16, no work done at all.

Is arch mods the rolling of the fenders, I remember using a pole on my citi golf many moons ago ...lol

i have had 20's on my 325ci.(back wheels were 9.5j wide)...
...and currently have 19's.

if the wheels offsets are 35 you are fine...max you can get away with is ET40....

265 /30 at the back is fine.

Okay got a little more info EXCEPT THE OFFSET!!!!

REAR: 275/30/19
FRONT 255/35/19

:argh:

test fit?

this is always easier than debating fitment...

:argh:

those fronts are quite oversized..., even for a 335i my 530d has 245/35/19.

I agree with Moranor, try them our see what touches/rubs and where then decisions can be made with regards to changing tyres or shaving or not going through with the deal.

:argh:

the back you may get away with but its going to be really tight....you have to have an ET40 to work....

i am more worried about front. those seem awefully wide....i think it will touch...


i had 225 on in front and touched when locked hard on the 20's

Isn't there more arch space in the Ci?

Isn't there more arch space in the Ci?

i had heard so as well but can't confirm. i know the body is slightly wider

 

[akajee]

235/35/19 front
265/30/19 bk

Got final confirmation. That's whats actually on the car. Problem is that it is in durban and I am in jhb.



This is the pics I got.:bangdesk:

 

[sash]

still no offsets?

 

[akajee]

just to let you guys know, I took the chance and am getting it sent down.

The car it was on is also for sale though....:inlove::inlove:...wish I could afford this one....anyway I have to do with the rims.

on an e46 sedan with 35 offset you would need to run 245 or 235 rear stretch.


i have 35 offset 9.5j at rear on 245/35/19 and i have rolled fenders for it not to rub .
