Evening
May have an option to get some 18" wheels from e92 m3 at a good prices as spares. Just wanted to check if anyone knows if they will fit.
If my info is right CSL 19" are 8.5 44 offset front and 9.5 27 offset rear, e92 19" M3 are 8.5 29 offset front and 9.5 23 offset.
So based on my calcs and tool Ducanr added the fronts would be 15mm further out and rears 4mm further out so based on the spacers people are using I would hope this would work fine.... But my calcs could be load of

Judging by offsets they will fit fine and fill the front arch more than standard csl rim. Negating the need for front spacer. Probably whack a 12mm spacer on the rear as it might look and handle a bit strange.

Et29 on a 8.5j front rim is likely to get your tyre close to the arch but should be ok, just check there is no rubbing on the liner

They fit fine - we have a local owner here that run these wheels on his car - pretty good setup actually.

The stock tyres from the E92 M3 won't work obviously, to stick with the stock sizing you'd want to run either:

Front: 235/40/18 or 245/40/18
Rear 265/35/18

To retain within a 1% rolling difference.

I've actually just picked up a set of these today - gonna give it a try

way more tyre choices with 18s.
