E46 sedan fitment advice, 17x9.5 et 13 rears

mmm sexy.
what color are the wheels, im also looking for a bright silver like that for my wheels.

The shop that refinished them called it Volvo silver. I think it's just a basic, no flake silver.

Good shit dood, 205 40 and 225 35? They're real nice wheels

205/40 and 215/40. I'm stoked!

looks really good .

i still think a 215 and 225 would suit it better but looks great regardless

You're probably right, I've had more trouble with the wheel lip contacting the fender lip than I have the tires rubbing.

Bring the car down a bit and I think it'll be money. You did exactly what I wanted to do with my E46. Looks great.

That fits like a glove!

Makes me sad that the E46 fenders are wider than the E36 fenders. The have absolutely and 100% no rub I had to pull my rear fenders quite a bit on my E36 to fit the same sizes and offsets. Meh. Still looks good, lol.

It took two days of adjusting, cutting and grinding to make these fit right! I'll go lower eventually, but it's probably going to stay like this for a bit. I actually had to raise the rear up a 1/4" from those pics so the rear wheel lip would not hit the fender lip, or what was left of it.
