That fitment is for BMW only if I'm right.

AFAIK, some BMWs use a very low + offset 15-25 - at least the 7-series e38 does. The 3-series e46 use a higher offset like the one on this wheel +32 - +42 or so but the wheels are differently configured due to rear-wheel drive. These G Games look like they would fit by the numbers and configuration but unlikely that they will to my liking (tucked) because of their width. My understanding is that if you go with 9.5" wheels you would have to go with a 3-piece set to fine tune the offset and the lip to avoid protrusion of the wheels/tires past the wheel well...

All this to say that they should fit but might stick out too far for some.

Just talked to the guys at Discount Tire and these will fit the rear but not the front of our cars... Too bad, really!! Good looking wheel - if only I could find 2 at that price in 8.5" width...

huh, are you kidding me... discount tire has great prices, but fitment guru's they are not... dude that fits the rl flush...

3rd gen tl can fit those same specs without a problem

trust me when i say it fits, only concern will be tire selection, 265 might rub... 255 fits perfect

The problem in the front is whether the spokes will clear our big-azz brake calipers. There are few wheels that fit our cars because of the front brakes.

That said, those are nice-looking wheels. Why don't you do a test fit to be sure if they are available local to you?

Exactly, not many choices out there due to the front caliper unless you go custom as I did. You can name them all on one hand and some change.
