Re: Help! E60 Rims can fix into E46?
Hi Terry, I'm the one that wants to buy Jewell's rims & tyres. Problem is my E46 is having a 16" rims with tyres 225/50 R16, but Jewell's rims are from her E90 with tyres 225/55 R16. I've done a calculation, and the overall diameter will be increased from 631mm to 654mm, which is an increase of about 3.6%. I've checked on some websites and was told that it's not adviseable to do so, as the speedo will be out also. Any comments on this?Terry;188331 said:jewell sg.... as long as all 4 rims are of the same size...it will fit

Re: Help! E60 Rims can fix into E46?
u mean from her E60...? personally imho the profile of the tires wont affect much on the speedo... it will be the least thing u should be concerned about when changing rim... u should be more concerned on the ride harshness of the runflats...as well as the rubbing from the new tires which most probably will not happen...
anyway..ur speedo is never accurate... its always overestimates itself by about 10% ... dont worry about speedometer inaccuracy... when u changed enough rims and tires u will realise that profile thickness dont affect much
btw...just a suggestion..who dont u change to a bigger rim?

Re: Help! E60 Rims can fix into E46?
even if this is the case, if I am not mistaken, it will not fit.
E60 has low positive offset range, whereas E46 has high positive offset range. You would need some more than 20mm spacers (very thick) to push the wheels outwards to bring E46 offset down to E60 offsets. Not to mention some serious fender work too.....

No need to try. They won't fit unless you wanna convert to widebody...
