Carried over from E46Fanatics regarding E46 Wheel Fitment:

Yes, they[E46 M3] fit, and can run stock M3 fitments.

I had OEM 18 M3 wheels on my E90, they required a 10mm spacer in the front to make it look "right"

I have snows on now (running E46 330 wheels, not the m ones though) and i needed 15mm in the rear, and ideally, 25mm rear, 5-10 front.

What does this mean? They fit, but may need to fool with spacers to make it look right. E90 Wheels are a bit more set into the body than the E46; allowing more wheel suspension travel into the body, especially in the rear. This can make it a bit deceiving as to what looks good, and what is going to rub over bumps with people in the rear.
