E65 7 Series Wheels on an E90?

speedwheels · 02-10-2011, 12:34 PM

Folks,
I am trying to use the wheels from a BMW 745i on my E90 335i ZSP. I keep reading that the range of acceptable offsets for an E90 335i ZSP is 20 to 45 "depending on the wheel". Well, these wheels are the style 93 wheels from an E63 760i. They are 18x8 with an offset of 24. I plan on using them with the default 18 inch winter tire size setup (225/40/R18). Are these good to go? Any bore size issues on the E63?

I don't want to get flamed for the following comment but I was wondering how come there isn't a sticky about the E90 wheel specs and things to consider when looking for a replacement wheel or a winter wheel. For example,
For an 18x8 wheels with 225/40/R8 tires, the acceptable range of offsets for a ZSP is 20 to 40 or whatever.

ET24 is like putting 10mm spacers on your OEM e90 wheels and many has done that, so you should be okay.
Same center bore AFAIK.

So essentially, the wheels stick out more by 10 mm? Any problems with the alignment because of this? I wonder if anyone around here have used ET24 wheels ?

Yes, they'll just stick out 10mm more than OEM e9x 18x8 wheels.
No need for a new alignment since you're not changing any suspension parts.

Coolness. Btw. As for an offset range; I tried searching for this but is there an offset range that is considered safe for 335i sedans.. If there is a known safe offset range . Say +20 to +45 then it makes it easy to spot other BMW wheels that might work with the E90.
