Older M3 Wheel on F80 fitment

[bimsport]

Hey,
Does anyone know if 18" wheels came off e92 M3 fit on F80?
Wheels are 18x8.5 square setup with 245x45x18 winter tires.

Thanks

Which style wheels? I know Style 220M will fit the F80.

Not sure what style, they are replicas.

Those don't look anything like the wheels here: http://www.originalwheels.com/bmw-wheels/m32009rims.php

You'd have to test fit those wheels to find out, but my bet is the wheels won't clear the front brake calipers on the F8x.

they look like M5 rep.

I will try to get offset of these.

What kind of offset should I be looking for to fit F80?

LOL, I think you have better options like Style 220M if you're simply looking for a winter set.

Those replicas look like the 19" M5 wheels, except they're 18"s. You want anywhere between 22mm to no more than ~28mm (lower is better) for the fronts, but you also need to worry about spoke design for brake clearance.

thanks. I will see if there are any 220m for sale.

Why bother? They don't look good on this platform.

[bimsport]

No they don't.
Just looking for a set of winter that fit for now. so I can take the M3 out occasionally when it's not snowing. will keep looking for other options too.

Blacking them out isn't a bad idea. I was saying the alloy color looks off.

Interesting that he swapped the m5 brakes onto it
