Hello Driftworks!
Was wondering whether the BMW Grids 18's would fit my new family car E46 touring without flaring the arches? I want max amount of low offset of course, but whatever permits really.
Would you ship these to Norway?? :worthy:

U guys are Drift Legends:dw:
 
Sorry Miro I wanted to confirm this, basically the answer is kind of. The 18x8.5 grids need a 5mm spacer to clear the center bore on a couple of fitments including E46, and an 18x8.5 ET30 wheel is an aggressive fitment for E46. You won't need to FLARE the arches, but you will need to roll the arches unless running a small tyre.

If it helps, I've got an E46 touring too, and I've got 8x18 et20 on the front, and 9x18 et32 on the back.
The fronts fitted with no work, and the rears needed the lip rolling back. Using a 225/40 tyre all round, it doesn't rub. I reckon I could space the rears out a few mm in fact before it would catch :thumbs:

Thats on standard sport suspension and H&R anti roll bars by the way :)
 
Miro, your PM box is full, so I'll put the pictures up here instead.
This is the front with 8x18 et 20

And this is how the rear sits with 9x18 et32

PM box emptied now. Sorry guys. Don't the fronts rub when you run over bumps? The rears look perfect :D By the way, is the price 785 with tyres? (I'm hopeful :p)
