I have seen a compact driving our way with 18" MV2's on with no problems - and the car looked smart as well. Welcome to the forum by the way! Also, check this thread out - he has just put csl wheels on his compact and they look the mutts!

Yeh but it's the wheel size & offset you need to gauge first. & of course then the tyre size. |

No problem Bob, you'll probably find that the offset of his wheels will be lower than the wheels you put on. My mate ady has MV2 reps and his offset was ET38 on his e36. I think e46 wheels have a higher offset (about ET45-50) which would explain why the wheels sit so close to the suspension strut. If you get a chance it may be an idea to have a look for a stamp inside the alloy that should have the offset stamped in. HTH Paul Edited by e34silver530i |

I also like how the beautiful calypso red paintwork contrasts from the wheels as well, even though I'm a bit biased myself!! Paul |
