no they won't since the offset is too high. the e90 m3 would though.

So ifg i am understanding correctly, if they were installed they would stick out of the wheel well too much or too little?
edit: ...and they would probably rub on the inner side.

too little. high offset means the wheels are too in and low offset means they come out more.

sure they might work (make sure the wheel clears your brake caliper) but you'd need a pretty thick spacer 1cm-1.5cm and then need to purchase longer bolts to secure your wheels. i wouldn't do it personally nor would i recommend anyone else.

Would spacers make them work? Do you give up performace or handeling with big spacers?
