E90/92 M3 wheels on an E90 335i?

Has anyone tried putting the factory 18inch E90/92 M3 wheels and tires on an e90 335i? Do they fit? Do they rub?

Thanks,

Juan Bruce

Let's try this another way. Will the following fit on an e90?

Front 8,5J ET:29 with 245/40/18
Rear 9,5J ET:23 with 265/40/18

i don`t think so. the offset is to aggresive. the only solution take the front wheels all around. there is a possibility of no rubbing in the rear and nearlly no rubbing in the front. you have to try it

You can probably get away with it, but you will certainly need some different size tires. I would also plan on a fender roll.

i agree. the offset on those wheels would work, but you definitely need smaller tires.

Sorry bud, people would prefer the correct fitment/offset, same quality, with better price. People don't want to modify their BMW to fit wheels if they don't have to.

Its NOT the same quality my friend. It cant be the same quality. The original ones are forged. I doubt there is any replica wheel get even close to the original wheel quality.

Well, yes, those replica could be nice quality in comparisson to others but not like the original thing.
