Help for a BMW newcomer...

[chriso]

Hello all - just bought an E36 320i Coupe, and wanted a bit of advice from the experts! My mate's got an E34 520i with 17 inch Alpina wheels, which he's prepared to let me have for a VERY good price. Will they fit my E36? Not sure about stud patterns/offsets etc.

Cheers in advance...

I have got the same rims on my e36 328i imho i think they are the best looking wheels for a bmw.

Couldn't agree more - currently got 17 inch multispokes on but the Alpinas look so much better!

They won't fit, they are the wrong offset and the wheels will touch the struts. You need an e32/e28/e24/e34/e31 wheel to fit an e34. Offsets on the e36 are like 36mm were as the are 12-22mm on an e34 depending on tyre size

Cheers Sohlman - think I'll stick with what I've got and spend the money on beer
