Isn't going to work. You'll need a center bore of 72.56 and the bolt pattern needs to be 5x120 exactly. Might want to look into another wheel my friend.

16s are a very tough fit on e46 M3. I know a couple fit, but its unlikely that a wheel not made to squeeze over the large brakes would work. (the deal breaker)

The lugs should be 5x120.0 - a small difference, but some will say this matters - I am not sure. (could be fixed with adapter)

I believe the bore is wrong too. (would need machining)

The offsets are pretty unaggressive - might even rub the suspension on the back. (could be fixed with spacer)

So, short answer is no.
