Depends on the wheels - what sizes are they?

Probably not i'm afraid, but hard to say without knowing the wheel sizes.

ET20 so I guess spacers might be needed? Any help would be good. What are the original off sets of the staggered M sport wheels (18)? Thanks.

Spacers on ET20 will only make a bad situation even worse!

ET20 won't fit an E9x.
I thought the F10 wheels in 18" were ET30?.
If that is the case they will fit.

18" MV3's are ET34 (F) & ET37 (R)

If you're at 8x18 ET20 all round then yes they will fit - just.

I'm running 8x18 ET20 all round on my E91 M sport (stock suspension) with 225/40 all round. No rubbing, no issues, but they are on the limit of what you can get away with on the front.

Sorry about the dodgy 'phone picture but i'm sure you'll get the idea:

They're 270M, better known as E9x M3 and 1M winter wheels...

My wifes is an SE so looks to be no issues, will try them on my M-Sport and check clearances. They are 18x8 ET20 and 225/40/18 Dunlop Winters tyres.

No but I might jump on your choice of wheels bandwagon at some point!

I loved the 313s on the 130 because they looked great with the black paint and they were so unusual, but 313's on E9x's seem to be everywhere. I didn't really fancy 19's given the state of the roads around here and i'd prefer OEM to aftermarket. These just worked for me, it was either these or the style 162 ellipsoids which i think would have been easier to clean

Fitted them and they seem fine, OK for winter tyres.

Yep, a lot of people go for the 313 or CSL reps. Personally I think 19s are too big for the saloon/touring anyway.

I had style 216 on my E90 over the winter period but I have sold them on since.

I am very fond of Z3 / E39 wheels that look similar to BBS LMs albeit a convex face on the BMW versions, as seen on my old Z3 below.

I wouldn't be adverse to 17s either, a bit of extra ride comfort is never unwelcome! Not sure if the E90 is too modern a design for these wheels though?
