you may want to check rear arch clearance.

Should be ok unless you go for 16" tuscan racing wheels?

My brother has fitted my 400se OZ's on his S2 350i and they do fit but they stick out quite a bit (see picture of chedder's car), so stone chips may be the result...

It is possible to fit the OZ wheels onto a 350 but tyre choice will also play a part in working out the clearance issues, stick with 205-50's on the front and a maximum of 215-50's on the rear and you probably wont have any problems.
The SE models have a slightly larger wheel arch diameter and also have a lip on the edge of the arch hence why they can use 225's.

I have 215's on the front but had to alter the front edge of the arch to prevent minor rubbing, the rears are using 235's and will possibly need a little arch profiling depending on how the forthcoming suspension upgrades work out.

Hope that helps

You can get 400SE style wheels that was fitted to some 350's and 350SE's as a option. these are not as wide and take a 205 Tyre.
