335i winter set on e90 M3

Hello,

I could be purchasing an e90 M3 in the next couple of days. Unfortunately the car has summer tires on. I have a set of winter wheel/tires from my 335.

The specs are 18 x 8 45mm offset
225/40/18

I know they'll look weird, but would there be any fitment issues?

Thanks!

I agree, thick spacers. Factory offset is 18x8.5 et29 front, and 18x9.5 et23 rear. For looks, some use spacers with the factory wheels, which also have much wider rubber. The OP would want to make up the ET difference in spacers and then add some to make up for the narrower tires. Probably around an inch. If he has some long bolts, he could use a stack of washers on 2 bolts to do a test fit.

There are 18's out there that fit fine on 335's but that will not fit over the stock M3 brakes unless the spacer is 12" thick. Make sure you test fit or verify they will fit over the front brakes. In some way.
