Are CSL alloys a straight fit to a E46 M3?

[melhuishjames]

Hello
I have a standard E46 M3 running the original 19" wheels, I want to fit CSL alloys as my tyres all need replacing so seems like a good time and a suitable excuse! A friend commented today that the CSL wheels we'rent a straight swap as the nut pattern is different can anyone confirm before I blow my cash?!

Thank you James

Hi james fit straight on with no mods!

I am running coilover suspension with csl size tyres and
15 mm wheel spacers and ap racing brakes
which are a few mm thicker on their discs !
Have no issues with rubbing etc.

Thanks Kelly - Mind you your list of things sounds like quite a few mods! I ll take your word for it know - are you CSL wheels replicas (guessing by colour) wondering if their any diff from originals in size/offset?

Fantastic looking car by the way..

Hi James they are original wheels repainted in a special
two tone colour by lepsons that looks chrome looking face on and very dark looking down the side of the car, looks the nuts when moving! Thanks for the nice comment about the car! Spent 22k on parts alone
