    Posted: 30-April-2004 at 11:58
I've been offered 4 replica E46 M3 17" Alloys in A1 condition with fairly new 225/45/17 Avon's on for �500.

Question is will they fit my P plate E36 318SE without any trouble? I've currently got the standard 15" Alloys.

Also wondered if anyone had a pic of them on an E36, not sure how good they would look.

Thanks for any help/advice:)

As far as I am aware E46 alloys fit onto the E36 without any problems. If anyone out there knows different the please correct me.

I've got 235/40/17 all round on a 97 plate and I've had no bother. 

It'll make yourcar look a bit chunkier..
