Advice please?

Other than being way overpriced ( jmo ) you would need spacers to have a similar stance to your original alloys & would date your E89 back a generation as these were originally on E46s well over 10 years ago :cry:
Think the 89s need a more modern wheel than MV2s :?

Thanks Mr Wilks.
Have gone for Bazas 293, which are being refurbed in Silver as we speak. Looks like they will be a straight swap in terms of fitting, but Baza says you is de guru on wheels. Offset is the same, but will I need spacers?

Cheers

They are a straight bolt on fit for your car but would stand some spacers to give a better stance
The E89s have large arches & 293s being 18s can be lost in them on Se spec cars
Purely my own thoughts but I would be tweaking the tyre sizes if you haven't already got the rubber :wink:
 
Buying new RFTs to go on them. Any advice gratefully received ta. What size spacers would you recommend? And, forgive my ignorance, what difference do they make?

I would get the wheels & tyres on before playing with spacers as you may like the way the wheels look & don't want a wider stance :?
In your sig it says 19s ? Are you dropping to 18s for comfort & if so why go back to rfts :(

If you insist on sticking with rf then skip the Bridgestones :cry:

I'm dropping to 18 as I don't want to risk any more cracked rims.
Will think about non rft but a bit worried about not having spare. I know they're are fixing kits you can buy but do they ruin the tires once used?

Need to think about it. Thanks for the info on spacers btw.
