Will 325M 18" wheels fit a 3.0 sDrive E89?

Post by zebbidy » Sun Feb 03, 2019 1:02 pm

Can someone knowledgeable please advise if BMW 18" Style 325M wheels will fit my 3.0 sDrive E89 without problems? They were originally offered as standard fitment for the 3.5 sDrive E89 turbo models but I've seen them mounted on 1.8 and 2.3 E89 sDrive cars. I thought it best to check before I purchase. Brief 325M specs are: Front 8J X 18 225/40, Rear 8.5J 255/35. Currently my car has the standard Style 290 wheels which are 8J X 17 225/45. Thanks!

Thanks scarlet. I input data into the calculator and it seems the rears are only about 5mm wider both into the arch and outside of the car, with the fronts being the same as the original wheels. I can't input offsets and get a more accurate answer as I don't have this info. Maybe someone who has these wheels fitted can confirm they're OK for my car? Thanks again scarlet.
