328 or 335?

Check Tirerack for your car.

328. I believe the original offset of the 16" is for the e46.

Express · 01-09-2011, 04:44 PM

Because 16" wheels/tires make for better winter tires.

Won't fit if you have sport package.

CRWaaa · 01-09-2011, 07:31 PM

Base 325, 328, and 330 they will fit. Base 335 has a larger caliper.

I have sport pack.

Just got it to fit... barley cleared the brake shield. Drove like 5 feet and making some fucked up noise. Called my uncle who is a trade mechanic and he said it might be a problem driving on a smaller tire and it could be the diff thats acting up. Hes coming over to check things out.

You may want to trade mechanics.

If the wheels and tires clear the brakes and suspension bits AND if you got the proper sized tires, then the mechanicals don't care what size wheel you have.

You need to upsize to 17s

There are a handful of 16" wheels that will work with his car. If the wheels/tires clear then it isn't a wheel issue.
