Thinking about going to 18's and wondered if I will have clearance problems going to the newer M3 wheels and tires. Anyone have any experience trying this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Fly low,

You will have to run 4 fronts. E46 M3 wheels are offset 26mm, which would put the tire directly into your fender. Unless you ran a huge widebody kit in the rear.

4 fronts will work however.

There is alot of info on widebody kits in the M3 E36 sectoin on this forum. I saw a thread not too long ago too. So it is an active and current subject. Just do a search for "widebody".
