I just got a 1996 328ic and it's bone stock. There is no suspension modifications and it's sitting on 15 inch wheels.

I found some wheels on ebay that I initially bid on and then retracted the bid because I am not sure that they will fit. They are off of a "2007 3-Series". I can't post a link but it's ebay auction number 33016626786.

The thing that concerns me is that the description says the tire size is 225/40R18 and the pic shows 255/35R18 which means they are staggered. Will that wide of a tire fit my car? If they will I will go put my bid back into the auction.

Help me Obie Wan Kinobe.... You're my only hope!

Thanks for the reply.

The auction ends on Saturday and if they will fit I would really like to have them.

Does anyone know for sure if these will or will not work?
