CSL wheels on E46 and E90

[FesterNath]

Does anyone know if CSL wheels will fit: a normal E46 Sport, and an E90 Sport?

Logic is current car / next car compatability!

I seem to remember the easist way on an normal E46 is to use 2 sets of front wheels, the rears are too wide. Not sure about E90...

You could get replicas - any amount of them about that will therefore fit. Also, to me, there are some wheels that only 'work' on the model they were intended for. Thus i'm not sure CSL rims would look well on an e90?

The CSL wheels are the same as the CS wheels and you can only fit fronts all round. I'd imagine they'd fit an E46 & E90 but personally wouldn't put them on either as it'd be obvious 'it's feet were funny'. There are loads of really good wheels you can get for either and you can even swap them at the dealership for something out of the accessories catalogue, like a p/x.

Normally, I agree 100% with this sentiment. It's just that pictures of Z4Ms with the CSL have got me thinking...

Kerrching, respect point for you being very right. The rear's are the same, they look the same but the front on the CSL's are .5" wider.

I learnt something new today.

You can only use CSL fronts on an e46. I believe you can use the fronts and rears on an e90.

You know, i very nearly put the exception being the z4 as it really suits the CSL rims!!
