BMW Rota Grids

Hmm well as far as I remember e46 m3 front clearance is the same as normal e46's. M3 front wheels certainly are the same widths and offsets as normal e46s.
On that basis I would look at how Phil had his fitted and take your cue's from that.

Id guess -3 degrees camber and a 225/235 and you wont be far off fitting.
 
I see I was under the impression that the M3 had wider archs on the front as opposed to non M cars? If thats not the case then life is good!
 
Are these available in E39 centre bore?? And did you ever fit a set to your E39 tourer Bon? If so, please say you got a pic ;)

I'm getting close to giving up on finding good spec 18's, so Rota's are making sense :nod: What size tyres do you reckon for E39 with an 8.5J/10J stagger?

Big, slap you in face for being a gay, sized tyres unless you buy 10s all round. :euge:

Pretty sure they dont do e39 centre bore (well mine didnt need spiggot rings anyway) but its easy enough to get them machined out a bit.
 
Oh they might be then Ed. Tbf mine were fitted on 3mm slip ons as well so either way I wouldnt of used spiggots.
It felt fine having the 9.5s on the front of mine mate. I dont think 10j on the front of the e39 is particularly big tbh. As long as you stick to 235/245 ish tyre size they would be fine imo.

Plus, again iirc, the 8.5's would need a spacer to work on the e39.

Hi there first off the wheels on this beemer look amazing and i dont usually like the look of the E36's :o

are these 8.5 on the front and what size tyre is this? Would i also be able to come down and look at a few wheel colours against my car? Im looking to get some for my audi s2 avant:thumbs: i bought a set from ebay but didnt realise they were bmw fitment (i can use pcd correction bolts with 5x114.3's to get them to fit)
Cheers Graeme:wave:

Got any better picture of Rota Grid 8.5x18 et 35!
Looking for some new wheels for my BMW E46 Compact!
Did see some pictures of a Silver Golf 4 with some Rota Grids.. They was very concave! Maybe those was 9.5's?
 
do you have an actual picture of the Grids in 17x9" 5x120mm ET35?
before buying I would like to see how concave the spokes are in this size.

thanks in advance!

We've now got TE37 inspired Grids for BMW in 18x10et20, and 18x8.5et30. In either matt bronze or White.
They are absolutely awesome! Infact so awesome I've fitted a set straight to my M3.

Using a 265/35/18 rear and a 245/35/18 front it's the perfect fit in my opinion.
I run a lot of front camber, so for a more normal E46M3 I'd suggest using the 8.5's at the front.

We can do the usual wheel and tyre packages, just give us a bell on 0845 869 2555 or sales@this website and we'll talk you through your options.

We also threw them on an E36 325 to see what the fitment was like. The rears would need a lot of arch work, as you can see by the arch sitting on the tyre, but would look absolutely awesome if your willing to put a bit of work in.
E36 M3's have slightly narrower track, so would be slightly less work. Or 8.5's should go straight on with the correct tyres.
