E39 rims will fit to E46 with;

1) Center cone added
2) Spacer added.

Applicable if u runs on Wide-Body ... Otherwise .. look like cartoon aje ...

E21 = 18mm



E24 6x14" = 22mm

6.5x14" = 22mm

7x14" = 18mm

7x15" = 20mm

165TR390 = 22mm

195TR415 = 19mm

E28 M5 7.5x16" = 20mm

E28 6x14" = 22mm

6.5x14" = 22mm

165TR390 = 22mm

E30 M3 7x15" = 30mm

7.5x16" = 27mm

E30 6x14" = 35mm

6.5x14" = 30mm

7x15" = 24mm

E30iX 6x14" = 47mm

6.5x14" = 45mm

7x15" = 41mm

65x150TD = 47mm

E32 7x15" = 20mm

E34 7x15" = 20mm

7x16" = 20mm

8x17" = 20mm

E36 M3 7.5x17" = 41mm

8.5x17" = 41mm



E36 7x15" = 47mm

7x16" = 46mm

Thanks to those who had constructive replies to my query namely San, e28driver and 535i. Quite helpful k:

To those who purposefuly deviated from the topic thread:- shame on you! Simple question and it can't be addressed?! Deviated topic to wide body customs and the amount of time it took! Shame on you lot. :angry:

So essentially, the rims from an e39 cant fit on an e46 without spacers being added.

Thanks.

so basically e39 rims have more neg offset where else e46 is more positive offset ? Hence adding spacer to e39 rims on an e46 will just make it more negative hence the need for a widebody kit ??
