e85 108 wheels to e90 wheels ?
Hi I am looking to change my e 85 108 wheels which are 8 x 18" ET47 and 8.5 x 18 ET50 for some style 193 ? off a e90 which are staggered ET34 front and ET 37. …….. Would I need wheel spacers ?? I have had a look at the wheel fitment sites but ended up confused thanks .

I'm running a staggered (8" front, 8.5" rear) E90 alloys with those offsets on my E85 2.5 on sport springs, not lowered, no spacers, with no problems at all.

I've got 20mm spacers on the rear of my Mv4s which are et37 as it is

Are you fitting MV3s? If so then spacers will not be needed. I have them on my Zed and the et34 front and et37 rear look just about right imo. I had a slight amount of rub on the front upper leading edge of the arch when encountering high speed compression bumps like in a dip of the road. Recently fitted new B4s and car sits slightly higher which has solved the rubbing completely.

Yes they are MV3 ,so what size tyre would you all recommend or would my choice be better with spacers fitted ? I have bought them now so they will fit ...….. ah forgot to say I have the M sport spring suspension package as standard on my Zed

You won't need spacers with MV3s. ET34 and 37 puts the outer face of the wheel/tyre flush with the arch
IMO if you're on M sport springs then no need to go bigger than the factory sizes of 255/35 R18 rear and 225/40R18 front. Here's a photo of mine when I had M Sport springs fitted.
