19'' hm2 wheels questions
Was wondering anyone here an expert in wheels
cause i want to purchase 19" hamann hm2 wheels from a member
but i got a 323ci coupe and i know i gotta to roll the fender to fit right? but i want to know since the wheels he's selling on his m3 is fit with 275/19 in the rear , can i change it to 265/19 tires to fit my car or the offset is totally different ?

cause i know it can fit if i roll the fender for 19x8.5 and 19x10 for e46. but what about changing the tires size from 275 to 265 to fit

can anyone tell me????????? thanks before hand

Whoa. You cannot fit M3 offsets onto a non-M3. It's not only the tire size you should be concerned about but offset as well.

thats what i thought anyway cause of the m3 offset it would not fit but to make sure from some one who's sure

Well, you could buy the fronts only --- they will fit fine.

what if i roll the fender for the rear to fit the wheels , would that fit ok , cause i know some e46 regular 3 seires with 19x10 in the rear by rolling the fender though

It's not the width, it's the offset.

The E46 M3 has a retarded rear wheel offset of 26. The offset for a regular 3-series coupe is a whopping 50.
