Will 18" wheels ET41, 235/45/R18 fit a E90?
Hey guys!
I got a good deal on 4 original BMW alloys. They are 18" with ET41 - They come from a E46 - will these with my E90 or do i need spacers and such? I am worried about the ET? Wheels are 235/45/R18 i also have 225/40/R18 if that is better. Cheers Btw. It's a 320D from 2006 - Sedan |

The 235/45/18 will be extremely tall (26.3 inches), I would go with the 225/40/18 (25.1 inches). As for the offset I think it will work, but you would defiantly want some spacers to push those wheels out a bit.

You have to figure out the diameter of the original tire size and then find the equivalent size for the larger rim. I say this because I don't now the standard size tire that BMW spec'd for your 330d. However, my 325i, which has the sport package, came with 225/45-17 in the front and 245/40-17 in the rear. I got rid of the runflats and staggered set up and switched to an 18 inch wheel with 235/40-18 tires. The tire size works well and fits fine.
I can't offer any advice about offset. If you go to the wheel and tire section you might find an answer. |

You should go with a 225/40 or 235/40.
And assuming the wheels are 8 or 8.5 inch wide they'll fit without spacers, but you could add spacers for a more flush look.
