They are all rear's off of ~2003 M3, you don't need spacers, you need 5x120 to 5x114.3 adaptors.

To be fair, M3 wheels are the smallest looking 18's you will ever find. I KNOW they are 18 but I still have a hard time believing it lol

How much smaller are the fronts? As most people know I'm not at all into the stuffing the biggest rim you can fit, roll the fenders and stretch the tires thing.

Are their pics that show more of the wheel? Those show off the tire stretch and wheel poking out from the wells...like you weirdos like (j/k). I'd like to see pics where the rim isn't shadowed.

From what I remember, the E46 M3's wheels are:

Front: 18X8 ET+47 5X120
Rear: 18X9 ET+27 5X120

OP, pm JoeCrappa. He used to have those M3 wheels on his white s4. That actually may be his car too. He has some posts many pages back in this thread of his M3 wheels: https://www.rx7club.com/west-rx-7-forum-193/post-pics-your-ride-s-771045/ Yes, its currently 319 pages long.
