This might be true for LCI sedans and any coupes/verts, but pre-LCI sedans have more space for aggressive wheels at the rear and OEM M3 wheels are essentially a perfect fit.

I use style 220 in summer, and 219 in winter. I did roll my fenders, and can't run OEM M3 tire sizes, but with non-M tires they fit just fine.

Also, I find the website www.willtheyfit.com a tremendous resource for seeing what may or may not fit your specific car. It compares your current setup with specs of a new setup you're interested in, and tells you how much more poke etc it has compared to current. Then you measure that against your car to see if you have the room to clear the new setup!
