Ebay alloy wheel help

Exotica · 03-15-2011, 08:08 PM

Any thoughts on these?

Will they fit straight on a E90 2007 SE, any problems I might have?

Hard to say for sure as they don't mention the offsets. I'd also worry about what is regarded a performance tyre. It would be a real punt buying from that ad but worth giving them a call to get the necessary info.

Check exact sizes and off sets. The E90s have MUCH larger brakes at the front and lots of wheels that will fit previous models will not fit over the front calipers. IME (not bitter, just a bit out of pocket)

Anyone seen photos of these on a SE?

Thanks

Their listing 'Performance tyres' but make no mention of brand.

For the money, it's highly doubtful that once the brand is revealed the tyres will be 'Performance'!

The tyres are also quoted as being the same size all around, not only is this wrong, but a 235 tyre on a 9" wheel will look ridiculously stretched and will leave the wheel exposed to bad damage from kerbs.

I'd avoid like I would the plague!

Try Mark, it's far safer:

I have them fitted to my E90 SE, though mine are a staggered set up where as that listing isn't for a staggered set

I would have thought if they are '8X19 FRONTS AND 9X19 REARS' they are a staggered setup?

Fitted today by Mark at BMautosport.

19"s, as you can see plenty of space in arches.
