Getting a backbox delete done in a couple of weeks, really looking forward to some noise.
Just wondering what i'd have to do to get these to fit ? http://esmwheels.com/index.php?route...&product_id=92

18" fronts, 8 inch wide and 18" 9inch wide at the rear. Do i need spigot rings as the central bore is different? Is it doable ?

These are the size of standard wheels :

3 series E46 (without M3 rears)
PCD 5/120, centre bore 72.5 mm
Wheel bolts as above
E46 offsets ET 40-50 mm (without rolling rear will take up to 9.5x19 ET45 with 265/30/19)

Really? Sure it wouldn't be too loud ? Could always go back of it wasn't enough.

Also the cruise control wasn't working which was fixed by a new MAF sensor. This has also improved my mpg, a motorway journey I can now get 32mpg without hanging around..

The car was up for sale because I was missing the cheap modifications side of things... However I will have a better income soon so I am keeping it: it's growing on me more and more now, really enjoy driving it and hopefully with the backbox delete coming up, it should only get better.

I dunno if it will be too loud. I got the backboxes done and thought the same as you, can always go back. I'd say most days I wish I had the centre done as well as or instead of the back.

Chopped both of my silencers out too, sounded nice and wasn't overly obnoxious.

Might ask the garage when I'm there get his opinion, may have done a few beemers before.

So here is how she looks now. E38 Style 32's, 18x8 and 18x9.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone/dirty car pics.

Cheers.

I also have had a backbox delete done; made the right choice, I love it. Sounds very aggressive, loud and a lot of pops and bangs.

Thanks, hmm I'll get some better pics with sparkling wheels and you'll be convinced. They are hard to keep clean but I really like the colour combo.

Yeah it took me a while to decide on which to go for, considered csl reps but went for these in the end. You should go for them, I love them and they can be picked up for £2-300 depending on their condition so they're not that expensive.
