Why won't M3 e46 rear wheels fit?

Ideally need to use M3 rears this Saturday at Castle Combe for the drift competition. I know they don't fit a standard car - will they fit mine as it has big arches - or is the probelm fouling the inside suspension etc..? Can't check as car is in Wales with Spaceman...

says bolt patterns and centre bores are the same between e36 and e46 m3

can only be offset or overall width....

Sunbmw uses them with an unarched E36 AFAIK. :?:
