RE: Has anyone ever fitted 18 inch rims to an E36??
Need a bit of guidance from the wheel whore fraternity again.
This is actually wrecking my head because I really want these particular rims.
Will this size fit lads without any mods??
[size=x-large]18x8.5j ET22[/size]
I was thinking no because that offset pushes the rim too far out towards the arch.
I also dont want to make the car handle like a shopping trolley.
Any help is greatly appreciated gents!

No John will struggle with a proper size tyre there!

Thanks Chris.
Thats what I was thinking.
Although the seller seems to disagree. But then he would. :huh:

Car feels like crap.
Tramlines like crazy.
They look too big.
Never thought you would be into this.
Just get a nice 17".

E36's look great on with the right 18 inch wheel and an appropriate ride height.
In this case I have found the wheel I want but its not the right size so I'll have to keep looking. I am intending to keep the standard E36 offset but I just wanted to check if an ET22 would actually fit. But it wont.
I'll just have to revert to 'Plan B'.... :wink:

I used to like 18's on them tbh but not anymore. I demand a PM with what wheels your thinking, won't tell anyone ;)

These were the wheels I was hoping for but had the ET22 offset
