Nice, but they say the wheels are for a GTO. I thought Pontiacs ran a 5X120.7 mm bolt pattern?

ok, so i asked the guy and he said they will fit the bmw. The rims in that auction are +35 offset front and +45 offset rear. He told me i need +20 offset for the bmw. Which offset should i go with?

wait...the seller has no clue as to what fits.

20 offset would be for a 5er.

i never told him what series i have. I should probley go with the rims that are +35 offset front and +45 offset rear. He said they have a 4 inch lip in rears and 2 in front, seems like that wouldnt fit on a 3 series so im in the dark on if they fit. If the bolt patterns both 5x120 and the offset isnt bad shold work fine i would imagine.

Yes, you definitely need the 35 and 45mm offset. It all depends what kind of tires you run on the rear. I would say go with a 245/40 or something like that. That way the sidewalls will either be straight up or lean a little bit, making your clearance better. If you are lowered you might have to roll your fenders in the rear. You also might have to run like 10mm spacers in the front if you are lowered, but most likely it wont be a big deal. They look pretty decent though.

Im running a 18x9 with a 45mm offset in the rear with 245/40 KDW2's lowered on Bilstein/H&R Sports and I rub.

allright cool. Yeah i already have my rear fenders rolled anyways. Plus im going to do some slight stretching of the tires so i should be fine. I was thinking 225/40 rear and 215/40 front to get that stretched look goin.

That will be pretty stretched looking lol. What tires are you going with. I would really suggest going with the BFG KDW2's even though many ppl have not stretched them, I have seen them stretched on my friends 350Z and they look awesome, plus they have really really beefy sidewalls, so they are pretty tough.
