correct wheel offset E46

[TJC46]

Hi guys could someone tell me the correct wheel offset front and rear for a 2002 E46 330 coupe m sport. Factory fitted 18 inch mv 1 alloys with wider rears. thanks Tom Alloys need a refurb and was wondering what my options were i.e other bmw alloys.

The standard E46 offset is @ 35 ~ 45.

For some ideas about genuine BMW alloys try this site: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/
(for some alloys this site quotes some offsets as high as 50 for the E46 though).

It's in German but its easy to understand.

3 series E46
PCD 5/120, centre bore 72.5 mm
Wheel bolts M12x1.5 60 degree tapered head, thread length ca. 27mm
E46 offsets ET 40-50 mm (without rolling rear will take up to 9.5x19 ET45 with 265/30/19)

ETA quoting for poor netiquette

Olli on there is the fountain of all BMW wheel knowledge.

ETA just realised I should give credit were it's due, everydays a schoolday.
