CSL 18's on an E36 compact? After seeing the E46 CSL wheel thread, I have decided that I want a set of those wheels on my E36 318ti. Anyone have any pics of an E36 Compact with CSLs on? I presume that they should fit straight on without problem? |
I believe the smallest CSL reps are 18x8.5 so you'll almost definitely need to roll your fenders and still might run into rubbing issues. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. |
The reps im looking at are 8" and ET40 with 225/40/18s fitted |
you should be fine 18x8 et40... depending on how low u are though, a 40 series tire might be a little big |
madfronter has them on his ti |

e46 CSL/ZCP Wheels are completely different than the replicas... They are made my BBS for BMW, and the replicas are not "the same". I had them on my e46 M3 and yes they looked cool, but they are not as hard or as light as the originals, the other thing is the shape of the spokes are different on the originals, if you look at the wheel on side view they undulate. It begins from the deep concave center on the rears and it goes out & in and out again to the edge of the rim... the front are not as deep (concave) as the rears, but the undulation on the spokes is noticeable as well. The OEM wheels only come in 19", replicas will be 18" & 19", but I repeat they are not the same... I had them both in my car, and the replicas were a waste of money... better off getting BBS wheels that actually fit the Ti's, you'll enjoy them more in the long run (Fit, Finish, Quality, Durability). Just my $.02...:smile: |
The word "replica" is always equated to junk. id rather roll on a base name brand than replica anything, they suck. As mentioned above, you want BBS look, buy the damn BBS wheels. |
