255/40/18 on an E36

[Accomis]

Greetings to all,

Enrolled today; it is the most commendable decision I have made this week.


I require assistance; I have acquired pristine, authentic M3 alloys from a 2003 coupe. The rear tyre dimensions are 255/40/18.


I have just discovered that the wheels do not fit after attempting to install them. They are positioned excessively beyond the rear arch.

Does anyone know how I can make these rims compatible, and would a 245 tire fit onto the present wheel?

A 245 may accommodate the wheel, but the 03 M3 alloys possess an entirely incorrect offset for an E36.

That is the reason they protrude from beneath the vehicle.


It may be advisable to resell them and acquire reproductions specifically made for the E36.
