will alloys wheels from e46 fit e36?

[ben6601]

Hi, I have just purchased a 1998 e36 and am wondering about fitting alloy wheels. I have found some 2nd hand wheels advertised they are BMW 17" alloys from a e46 coupe and I'm wondering if they will fit. I wonder if one of the e36 fanatics out there could just advise whether this is likely.

Yup they certainly will, any BMW wheels will fit i.e. 1,3,5,6,7,8 series, X or Z model or any M series. They are all completely interchangeable as long as they are too big or wide. A 20" or 21" rim will not fit but anything smaller than a 18" inch will do. Don't know about 19inchs though, iv heard of stories off diff people that they do fit but alot of people saying that they wont fit.
