The again, BMW tend to make everything different in order to maximise the performance even the smallest amount. As a result trying out such 'mods' often costs time, money and nerves, seldom with a positive result. The stud pattern may be the same, but the hubs size may be different (as per e34-e39). Plenty of nice rims fit e34s though.

If you find out that an e36/46 rim fits an e34, be sure to let us know- as no doubt some others will say anyway... over to them!

That's right, the offsets are very different. The offsets on the E34 are around 20mm, and the offsets on the E36 and E46 are anywhere between 38mm and 50mm, so I dount that you will even be able to get the wheels on, they will just foul with the suspension.

JohnSo a set of stockies running 195s might fit under the guards.... I love their cool, practical plastic wheels caps. And it wouldn't be bad for fuel economy either! :D
