E90 323i Wheel Setup?

Excellence · 11-25-2007, 04:49 PM

I was wondering, I am thinking of getting new rims for my ride.
What offset do I need and what size can I get?

I was thinking of these 18" wheels I saw online, they're 18X8.5, offset 38MM and 5x120.
What exactly is offset? And which offset do I need to fit my car?
The tires that were included are 225.
Would this scrape or not fit my car?

Refer to the sticky at the top of the page. You need to do some homework.

Your 323 will accomodate any of the tire/wheel sizes that any other E90 will accomodate. See what sizes others are running.

Those sizes will work on your car but may be set inward in the rear. You can run up to a 30 offset in the rear. I'd also go with a staggered setup, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 in the rear.
