340i Wheels on M2?

I've got a set of 'winter' BMW wheels (18") from a 2017 340i that I'd like to use on a 2018 M2. I can't find the specs on offset, hub diameter, etc. and want to know if they'll fit. I know they're not quite as wide but for the short period of cold weather we get in NM they could be useful. Thanks.

If they clear the brakes, they'll fit. They will be sucked into the fenders a lot, which isn't a bad thing for winter.

I'd recommend 225/45 18 fronts with 245/45 18 rear for tires. Should be lots of winter options in that size.

Take a front wheel off and see if the 398 will clear the calipers. The 340i has fairly large brakes, you'll probably get lucky with them fitting.

I was mostly worried about the hub diameter and offset but the rotors could be a problem. The 340ix I bought the tires for also had the track package with M brakes but that doesn't mean they're the same size. Looks like I'll just have to try them. Thanks!

That's a good starting point
