Hi, I found a pretty good deal on winter E46 wheels that I was considering buying. I have seen only one picture of these on a 335 that I could find by searching on the forum. Does anyone know if they will fit, because they have very different offsets than the stock wheels.

Fronts are 225/45-18 on a 18 by 8" wheel with a 47mm offset. Rears are 255/40-18 on a 18 by 9" wheel with a 26mm offset.

Here is a link of some of the same wheels...

Yes they will fit. You could use a 20mm spacer up front though. Also the tires are a little tall, but it shouldn't cause any issues and the speedometer will actually be a little more accurate since it reads 3mph under from the factory.

Thanks! What is the affect from the spacer? Does it do anything to durability? Extra wear on the car? Cause anything to break? Sorry I am new to owning a nicer car haha. Any specific brand of spacers? Thanks again!!

It shouldn't cause any problems as long as you use good quality spacers like h&r's. Just don't use universal spacers, you need hub centric spacers.
