I wonder if you have somehow got the wheel sizes mixed up. I never heard of any BMW being supplied from the factory with a set of four 18x8.5" non-staggered wheels as you wrote. One possibillity is the staggered sizes you wrote as being recommended above. Otherwise for non-staggered size, it would be more likley they are 18x8.0 rims with 225/40/18 tires.

If the fit on a 328i they'll fit on your 320i too.

Depends entirely on offset. If you're saying they are replicas then that could be anything. If they already fit a 328i then I guess its promising. For OEM it seems they do make this wheel in 8.5j, but it looks like its for an X3 or E60.

Ditto.
1. can use 8.5 X 18" size in front ? 18x8.5" fronts are not a problem with the proper offsets. 2. do i need put any spacer in any of the rears to adapt them? Depending on what the rear offset is, you may not need any kind of spacers. 3. can i use RFT tires for Rims 18"? Yes you can. 4. will have issues with my engine (2.0) or direction/suspention problems for the wide of the wheels? These sizes should not pose any kind of problems to the vehicle since they are all within 3% of the OE sizes. -Charles@VMRWheels
