In Reply to: Will OEM 318i 14 x 6 wheels fit on 320i? posted by Rick on March 03, 2000 at 16:03:31:

Yes, they will bolt on, and you can drive the car.

But, they are way offset towards the center of the car, so it look ridiculous! In other words, your track is narrowed, and it makes it look like you have really skinny tires (i.e. lots of room between the tire and the fender.

I suppose you could use some spacers and new lug bolts to push the wheels outward, but it does not seem like it would be worth the trouble, the wheels don't look that great.


: I've got a 83 320i and want replace the 13 inch factory turbines and go to 14 inch wheels. The 1984 and later 318i has a similar 4 lug 14 x 6 wheel; will these bolt right on, or do I need to offset them? I drive on pretty lousy roads here in Arizona, so I don't really want the 15 inch or bigger wheels; too stiff for our bad pavement.
