Re: Wheel fitment

["Lane Flynn" <vortexic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Those wheels will fit fine.  I have '97 M3 wheels on my '94 325is (7x7.5
front, 17x8.5 rear) and they fit perfectly without any rubbing-no rolling
needed.  AFAIK, the fenders are identical (i.e. not rolled) between all
E36's, so anything that'll fit on an M3 will fit a 325is and my non-sport
suspension is stiff enough so there's no rubbing on rough roads.  The
factory Michelins (which I have) are 225/45 in front and 245/40 in back (if
you're getting 17x7.5 all around you'd want all 225/45), but I think you can
use 235/45 with no problem.

P.S. Stock M3 tires are Michelin Pilot SX MXX3's; I like 'em but others with
more experience can give you better tire advice.
