M Parallel Style 37 Alloys - E46?

[Matthew_Eames]

Could you fit these wheels

(they come in different variants, for the E34,38 and 39 I believe)
as seen here


to an E46 Coupe?


Just wondering, I think they would look great, has it been/can it be done? (not that the MV2 wheels look bad)

I believe the 5 series wheel offset is too much for the E46. The wheels (the rear ones anyway) would stick out past the arches, in the same way that M3 rear wheels do if put on a non M 3 series.

No fitment for E46 sorry

[Matthew_Eames]

Thanks for the investigation work.

what about clubsport alloys? they are parallel style

[oktapod]

Quick question: are the alloys in the second shot (of the E46 coupe) MV2s? I'm fairly new to the BMW world and my new car has alloys that look just like them, and I wondered what they were (MV/MV2/something else). They look good on the coupe :-)

the ones on the E46 are MV1's matey

Just a quick point on arch rolling to get the extra room required, i had my arches rolled by arch enemy to get the M3 wheels on my E46 what they claimed to be a easy quick job which was a complete waste of time and the final result looked awful. The only way is to get a body shop to split the arch and panel beat it out, thats what i ended up doing.

The offset is way to low.

They will fit the rear of an M3 e46 but won't fit the front of any e46.

Hi mate new to forum really wanted to know how you exactly achieved the m3 rear arch on the e46 replica where you had yours done and how much roughly it cost thanks
