And was seeing if there dimensions are equal to the stock 19's.

Thanks A LOT.

8.5 / 9.5 I believe.

These will still fit the car no problem right? Just need to buy new tires.

Thanks a lot, I've never upgraded wheels before.

Yes, they are designed to fit any e9x M3 with the same wheel bolts.

Also, the dimensions are slightly different. The wheel that you are getting, which is called style 359M by BMW, are half an inch wider than the standard 18 and optional 19 inch wheels that you have. The offset of the 359m is also lower, which pushes the wheel out a bit further as well.

In regards to the offset, this won't cause rubbing or anything on stock height right?

Thanks a lot for your help and bearing with a wheel/tire noobie.

No, it won't cause any problems. It's designed to fit our cars. They come as standard on M3's equipped with the competition package, which is what I have. They perceptibly improve stability and cornering ability due to the smaller offset and being 0.5 inch wider. Whether they generate faster lap times compared to the 220m 19 inch wheels is debatable.
