New to BMW. Will these snow tires/rims fit my 2008 M3?

Sorry I'm a noob around here and I've been searching around but can't seem to find a solid answer. But was just wondering if these wheels would fit on my 2008 M3 Coupe?

Quoted from craigslist
Quote:
Set of 4 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D snow tires mounted on 18 "M6 replica wheels (w/BMW center cap and M/// badge) with Tire Totes. Tire sizes are 225/40 R18. These were used on a 2008 BMW 335. They should fit most 3 series and possibly some 5 series. Wheels come with Tire Pressure Monitoring System installed (TPMS). Buyer is responsible for checking fitment.

Tires have roughly 10000 miles on them and are in excellent condition. Wheels are in very good condition with some exterior blemishes from winter use. Tire Totes are like new. These were used on a 2008 335 and will fit the 328 as well as some older models.

Retail cost of the entire package is over $1500. Will sell all for $595.

Great looking wheels.

They should fit, but they will look really small since they are even smaller in diameter than a 235/40/18, which already looks small on an M3. They will probably be recessed a lot from the fender since they are narrow tires and offset for a 335 is much higher.

Hopefully the wheels doesn't look too awkward on the car but I'm more concerned about winter performance and keeping my car on the road than looks.

So you guys think I should go with this or just buy Blizzak wheels for my stock 18's?

I would buy snows for the oem 18's. The tires above are way too small for your car. Plus the offsets on the wheels are likely going to be pushed too much in-board. Get your snows in stock tire sizes or 245/40/18 on all 4 wheels.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will just buy Winter tires for my stock wheels. You guys saved me $600 and a 45 min trip.
