Whats the offset on the OEM Kontour Wheels for the E36 M3

Just curious b/c I bought 18 by 8.5" replica Euro M3 wheels with the offset being 47mm and they don't fit my car.

I am running 41mm offset E46 rims, is the rear rubbing? Mine are 17x8 rims. Perfect fit and they work well... 8.5 might be a bit wide, will they bolt up and just rub? I had the height for 18 inch, just with the roads out here....not a good idea for me, they do look nice though. Might be the fact they are 47 mm offset. Anyone have any 47mm offset rims on their E36?

Kinda old pics....car has changed a bit since. Still love the rims.

well they bolted good, no problem with that but the they were right up against the spring and rubbed, same with the back. I was told if I get a 35mm offset they will fit no problem. We will see.
