2006 330xi wheel question

Is there any difference in the wheel specs for a 2006 330xi vs other 2006-2008 3-series models? I thinking of buying 17 inch style 159 wheels from wheelsandcaps.com (part # ALY59582U20). I want to make sure there us no difference in the "wheel clearance" between models and years. At wheelsandcaps.com they will only say the wheels are for a 2006-2008 BMW 3 SERIES SEDAN. Will these fit all models - or is a 330xi different in some way?

Thanks for the help

Tony

If you have the offset of the wheel then we could tell you. Are the 159's from that site made from BMW and not a replica?

Those are one of the few 17's that clear the 330's brakes.

My 330xi came with OEM BMW/BBS rim style Star Spoke 158 (36 11 6 765 810), which are 8 x 17, ET34, non-staggered. I also have a set of BMW Style 159 rims, same size as the 158. Both sets fit with no clearance problems but both are OEM - I have never tried rims from wheelsandcaps.
