off set is off in addition the hub size will be totally off unless you can find a hubcentric wheel spacer that would fit

Good thing i didnt just buy them, thanks. what is the offset i would need, would 18's be a lil to big, would the speedo still be accurate.

Most for the E36 are 38ish mm

I've usually seen smaller wheels get recommended for winter sets but if you go with the 18's, remember that thinner tires are better than wider tires for the snow.
