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 ?? :driving: :) I have had a look at the wheel fitment sites but ended up confused :headbang: :) 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. :thumbsup:

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. :thumbsup: 20180511_132731.png
 
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 :) :driving:...….. 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 :thumbsup:
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.20150904_205849.jpg
