The first question is what tire sizes are you going to run. The tire size determines the offset you should run.

Your desired tire sizes + the look you want determines wheel width.

Wheel width generally doesn't influence the needed offset unless you wanna look like a dumdum and be stretched and poked

You need to post what kind of look your going for and also select your tire sizes first.

I've got 90% front and rear tires. They're stock tire sizes. Doesn't mean I have to stay with these tires if they'll look retarded. If they work, great. If not, I'll just buy new tires.

Cb, what size tires are you running?

Take a look at this page. The majority of they wheels that they make are for the E90's. You should be able to find a lot more information here:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297809

This wheel is made to fit many different applications and the specific offset for the E46
M3 is 35 Front and 22 Rear.

I proper tire size is 245/35 on the front and 275/30 on the rears.
