Winters tyres for my Z4 - do E46 rims fit on my '06 Z4

Recently purchased a '06 Z4 3.0 Si in the UK and have imported the car back to Belgium where I'll be using it on a daily basis. Winter tyres? A bit late/early I know but best to sort it out before there is a solid 10 inches of the stuff on your driveway. Question (finally), does a BMW 3-Series (E46) rim fit on the Z? Easier to find them via the internet.....
Thanks
Dom

Tah Dah!! e46 mv1s on my coupe. Same offset, same stagger as OEM MV2s.

Not sure 16" will clear the calipers on your car, but other than that as above yes.

Thanks for your help! Sounds like I should steer clear of the 16" rims then.

They might be fine, but from memory they are bigger on the 3.0si so just check before buying some 16's

Steve is right the 16s won't fit.

Not a huge amount of clearance on the front brakes on my 18" MV1s tbh (smaller internal diameter than the 18" z4 Mv2s), so I'd worry about e46 17's too.
