Here is the story, I sold my 20's DPE 20x8 20x9.5 offset made for e90... I thought it would fit no problem on e46 m3s because they had more clearance..
So I sold the wheels to a buy in Texas with e46 M3.. And the front is sticking out a bit. From the pictures it doesnt look too bad because the tires are way too big in the first place.. What can you guys recommend to make this fit?
Negative cambers maybe?

Three is not a whole lot that can be done if they stick out too far. Since DPEs are multipiece wheels they can be sent back into manufacturing to have the offset changed, but I have not idea what that would cost.
Another option is to put them on the back if the rear wheels for the E90 do not stick out as far, or use camber plates to dial in more negative camber to not have it look as bad.

Two things you can do to fit this wheels...
1. adjust the camber
2. shave the inner wheels
this is a fair easy problem...

to be honest... i would rather run a thinner tire up front... you can get way more clearance with a bit of stretch/poke... itll look better and you wont get rubbing out front even you said the fronts are alil wide...
what size tire are you running???

it has to be a good machine shop to shave of a precise mm length, and after that, the guy is probably going to still need to run some negative camber, and maybe going to hav to get some stretchy strech on those tires, the ones he has mounted are way to big anyways... those wheels should have been test fit on a e46 m3 before they were sold.
