E46 wheels on an E91

vilord · 01-08-2020, 11:12 AM

I picked up a set of style 98 17x7 ET47 e46 wheels with 1-season-old snow tires that I'm going to put on my e91.

I've used ET47's before, but they look kinda dumb without spacers.

I ordered a set of 25mm spacers (the dual-bolt aluminum type, not using crazy long lug bolts), which makes them the equivalent of an ET22.

Is this going to fit? Will the increased scrub radius be noticeable?

Thanks!

That will easily fit. As for the scrub radius you'll likely feel like it's tramlining since it'll be positive now. Not a huge deal just be prepared for it to dart around more.

Fit just fine like you said!

Haven't driven it enough to notice any tramlining, though the steering shaft joints are shot so it is very stiff to turn regardless. Hoping to fix that tomorrow, so will see how it handles this week.
