Compatible width and offset for e89 19" wheels

Post by JakeS76 » Fri Feb 07, 2025 9:04 pm

I'm looking for advice on the compatible width and range of offsets for aftermarket 19 inch e89 alloys.
I saw an old post saying 9j fronts are too wide so go with 8.5j. And would 8j fronts be too narrow?

I currently have 9j fronts, et 29, and I think they look spot on. Original 326's are 8j, et 29.

Cheers. Do you reckon these wheels would fit? ET35 is the only option for BMW. Or would the fronts look too narrow?

They should fit with no issues. Happy to be corrected, though.
