e92 M3 wheels on a GT?!
I have a e92 M3 and I'll be selling it soon. Does anyone know if the wheels from it will fit my 2016 GT? I'm assuming the ET will be off etc.. but how badly?! I know some of you wheel savants will know !
 pics?!

I have an e90M and a 335xiGT. Fronts might work rears probably won't offset is too low. And the M3 tires are obviously staggered too much for an xdrive car there's 3/4" difference in diameter

which model GT? I have a 335i and the main issue was clearing the front brakes. if you have smaller brakes it may work, ignoring the staggered issue...

Stock e9xM front brakes are 360mm with the very large sliding calipers BMW used on most of its big power cars till recently. Stock 335 F30 front brakes are 340mm (unless equipped with the M PErformance brakes which are an accessory/port installed and not a factory fitment). Any E9xM front wheel should fit over the F30 335xi front brakes with lots fo room to spare. Hell I have a set of 17's that fits easily over our F34335xi's stock front Brembos; they can't even get close enough to the hub to touch my studs on my E90M.

The caliper clearance should be ok for sure.

Yes 25.7" front 26.3" is the stock diameter on the e90m. Need to use tires within a couple tenths of an inch front to rear on xdrive cars. Not to mention the short front tire would look goofy on a GT thats more than an inch shorter than the ~27" stockGT tires

Put them on, went for ride, seems to handle a lot better than stocker run flats.. using lm32 snow tires. It looks a little goofy, Ive seen worse, but ill run the rubber out and save the cash.
