bmw e93 17 inch alloys?

[Chan61922]

hi guys currently bidding on ebay for a set of 17 inch deep dish alloys for my e93 sport convertible, the wheels are stunning, metallic black with a candy red rim would look the bees knees on my black e93,will 17inch wheels fit? if i win the bidding at a cheap price ill have them regardless, just concerned about fitament though, i know e46 sport convertible could take a minimum rim size of 17inch, but what about the e93? bidding ends in about a day so if anyone if the know can drop a little message will be much apprciated,
many thanks

Which engine? And is the off set and bolt pattern, etc correct too?

As above.
It depends on which model as the brakes are different sizes for each one.

However 17s should be fine, they came on the SE versions of the 335i/d which have the largest brakes

Hi thanks for replies, my car is a 2008 325i sport cab, the rims I'm looking are suitable for bmw as have the same 5 stud pattern, they are also staggered, measurements are front 7.5j is 41, rears 8.5j is 50, means nothing to me lol hope this helps. I've currently got 18 inch mv3's on.
Cheers

I think there e46 alloys, possibly even e39 not too sure- don't know how they would look on my e93, just in love with the color to be honest

These are E46 wheels as the spacing is ET50, E9x wheels are typically ET34.

OP, you'll need spacers for these wheels otherwise they're going to sit 16mm inwards.

Sounds like they will look awful.

They look like E46 320D/318i Sport wheels.

Hey guys yea there defo e46 wheels, thing is they look absolutely pants in original lol oh dear I'm currently hugest bidder with 9 hours to go, if I win I'll guess they'll do lol will they definately fit my vehicle with spacers though? What tyres would be recommend for this rim and for m sport suspension? I'm assuming I might need a bit of a thicker tyre, ie not so low profile? Would this get rid of some of the hardness in suspension? I live in London so can be a nightmare at times, constantly driving in zig zags avoiding pot holes and sleeping policemen lol

Cheer for the link mate quite useful- unfortunately some cheeky git poached the bidding of me in the last 10 seconds always the case lol was highest bidder all day, and things started heating up
In the last hour, I continued outbidding every1, literally the last 20 seconds I'm sat there counting down, and some git got in there, lol oh well, would've been hassle to be fair would of needed new rubbers all round as I only have 18 and 19. Thanks for all the in put though, I will continue looking for more alloys
