Hi All,

Already have a set of 108's which could do with a refurb. But rather than do that I thought.....keep them "as is" for winter and get a set refurbed in the spring with a set of tyres so have the best of both.

Question is - are there any "offsets", or other dimensions I need to take into account. As have seen some for sale which don't have any spec details ?

For your car Mike aim for 8/8.5 et 40 front
8.5/9.5j et 40 rear
Don't veer far from those numbers & you will be fine .
 
Apologies if I'm telling you things you already know but your 108s will be 8J x 18 ET47 fronts and 8.5J x 18 ET50 rears.

Most wheels have these details stamped on the rear face, although BMW put IS rather than ET. :roll:

The lower the ET number the further out the wheels will sit in the arches - so ET40 sits 10mm further out than ET50, etc.

Getting 108s refurbed isn't cheap as a proper job involves splitting the rims, but if you can do that yourself it saves some cash.

Anyway good luck finding another set of wheels. :thumbsup: Keep checking on here as they appear in the classifieds quite often, especially from mr wilks. :lol:
