I have a set of Fikse FM10 17" rims that I'm trying to sell and a few guys have asked if they will fit an E30 M3. They are 8.5" frt and 9.5" rear with a 20mm off set. They were on my e39 until it got totaled. Can anyone help out here???? Thanks!

Since I'm an idiot when it comes to wheel fitment, does this mean that a 20mm offset rim would sit too far in or too far out? Would they clear the brake calipers or not? I guess what I'm asking is what would happen if you did put a 20mm rim on an E30 M3???? Thanks!

I have style 5 bmw bbs rims from an e39 5 series on my car. 17x8 and 20mm offset. Fit good yet i have slight rubbing in the front only when backing up and turning. I think a smaller profile tire might fix this though.

E39 wheels have a center bore of 74.1 as suppose to 72.6 on an E30 M3. 20mm should be ok but the front might have some rubbing issues (caliper and inside of the wheel while turning. i have also tried style 5 on my E30 M3 before and i have to used them hub rings and had to remove the rattle clip off the caliper cause it was rubbing the inside of the wheel. oh, and btw, yours being a 20mm will stick out further. hoe much for the wheels btw. i have an E39 that might want it....:devillook
