Im booked in for a few trackdays in a couple of weeks time, and i want to get some spare rims for extra tyres.
I have an 02 ute, Do omega wheels fit? or any other commonly found car?

Bmws have the same pcd, i think the e46 m3 fronts all round on a monaro or ute would be about perfect. I think the front e46 m3 wheels are 18x8j +44 offset. I think the m3 front has a 44 offset. Anyways bmw wheels with around 45 offset no lower than 40 on an 8 inch rim will work.

18" E46 m3 wheel cost around 200 on ebay

That's basically my take as well. IIRC, the standard offset is ET48 on an 8" rim, so you need to get as close to this as possible. ET44 will move all the wheels outboard by 4mm.

Snowolf borrowed a set of 17 x 7.5 BMW wheels from me, while his were being refurbished, and they fitted over the calipers fine. If you go with 17's, the tyres should be cheaper, and grip the track a bit better.

Thats perfect, Theres an e46 traded in on the scrappage scheme in work, so i can rob the wheels off that one! They are only 16s, but they will fit on the back im sure, for some tyre smokin actionthumbup

@drew, they are on in mondello, one is being organised by driver.ie, and the other is being organised by the irish section of sxoc.com
Any interest in coming on track? There are still a few spaces left

I don't think they will go over your front brakes though.

Are you drifting? If you are just fitting to the rear then i think 16's will clear the stock brakes okay

Commodore / Monaro is 120mm x 5 stud

Omega A and B and Senator B are 110mm x 5 stud

Senator A / Monza is 120mm x 5 stud ( but the biggest wheel is 15" )
