So thanks to The Wheel Shop, i have secured my purchase of the following:

I will be fitting new tyres onto them, i said i was going RunFlats but decided against it as i have acquired a wheel repair kit.

Cant wait to get them fitted :rollsmile:

Very keen to see how they fit and work on your car! From what I have been able to find out, these wheels are 8,5x18 and 9,5x18, tyre sizes are 245/40R18 and 265/40R18 - and the offsets are ET 29 and ET 23. So this will give the E90 a great stance! What I am curious to know though, is how they will fit in the E90 wheels wells - no touching etc...

Philip, You are correct about the J size and tyres size, not too sure about the offset though. Shaheen (The Wheel Shop), test fitted these wheels with the above mentioned tyres on my car and it looks like we good to go.

I am just using 225/40 18 in front and 235/40 18 on the rears so we clear from any touching/rubbing. The offset is wider than E90 standard wheels, this is what i wanted to assist with stance. The front off the car will be lowered a slight bit at a later stage, should it be required.

Wheels will be fitted by Thursday or Friday, will post some pics asap. I will post the test fit pics in the week.

I always refer to http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ for the sizes and offsets - they seem to be pretty reliable.

That's good to hear - those wheels I reckon will look awesome on your car, especially being sparkling graphite! Cannot wait to see pics once fitted!

Test Fitting the wheels:
Front:

Rear:

They fit and do not rub or touch with the very wide M3 tyres. I will be going with a narrower tyre also, so we good to go. Cant wait :rollsmile:

Loan Wheels:

Thanks

Looks good so far! Will be interesting to see once fitted on the car with the roundels and off the lift! :thumbs:

 

[e46monk3y]

DANG! E92 M3 18's, those are awesome wheels! The D's gonna look mean! :=):

 

[unikbarna]

LaminX, vinyl etc etc etc all ready?!?! :rollsmile:

Laminx, pre-cut and waiting for the car to get home.

Vinyl, naaa, i would rather paint.

Wheels, found, just need to see if it looks good on the car, then pay and fit.

LED's and HID's paid for, to be fitted in Jan while im in DBN on holiday (purchased from a good supplier in DBN)

Boot Spoiler, will pick up from JENICH tomorrow or Friday!

Am i missing anything? Oh yes, wood-trim color change will be done next week. Not sure what colour to go with, Gloss black (My fav) or the usual silver?

Wheels, found, just need to see if it looks good on the car, then pay and fit - I would also like to remove my fun flats on my e90 320 and replace with normal tires. Where did you get yours and how much did they cost you

Best you contact Shaheen at The Wheel Shop - 0118366854 (tell him Arbee gave you the details).

 

[STupendous]

Fantastic buy! Enjoy....

 

[Arbee]

A small update, yet very pleasing.

The M3 boot spoiler has been painted:

Color is actually matched perfectly, using the code. The car still need to be detailed, this will bring out the color match even more. Sorry for the crappy pics!!

And then, i fitted the spoiler yesterday. Looks awesome.

Better pics to follow. The Masking tape holding it down is just as a precautionary measure to make sure the 2 way tape bonds nicely.

Oh, wheels will be fitted tomorrow and i managed to get a set of E90 OEM rubber mats.

I cant wait... :rollsmile:

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

HURRY!!!!

Loving the little additions you doing. Very classy indeed
