Wheels are still on the car, been busy today and the C5 is still curing on their replacements.
The tires are Khumo Ecsta LE Sports in 255/40/18 and 225/45/18 - just sailed through an MOT, but need to take them off to measure tread depths - they are non-runflats
Perhaps a better photo on an E89

Second two photos show off the wheels very nicely, look a lovely set of wheels.
Are they a square set or staggered?

I believe they’re staggered (which the tire sizes would suggest) but I bought the car with them fitted so can’t confirm 100% until I take them off. I will message the chap the bought them for the car (it was/is a forum car) to see if he has any recollection. I’m certain it will be stamped on the rear of the wheels, along with the ET’s, when I take them off.
3 of the wheels look excellent, one has a couple of scuffs (like this when I bought the car) which I’ll take photo’s of once off.
Realistically not expecting £500, but sensible starting point for offers

Sorry, completely missed the tyre sizes! Of course they are staggered, sorry.
Once you get the et's, tread depths and skuff photos post them up. Realistically Bristols a treck for me under lock down conditions but we will see what borris has to say for himself soon about travel.
I'd need to check with someone more knowledgeable than me if they would definitely fit a e85 too.

I’m going to remove them from the car today, so will be able to confirm shortly.
I’m 99% certain the wheels themselves would be a great fit on an E85, in terms of how well they would fill the arches... the tires sizes may work depending on your suspension set up.

Hi,
Went out to the garage to do the wheel swop yesterday and had completely forgotten that I’d lent my trolley jack to my Brother in Law.
Might be able to collect it later today, but if not will be Friday as committed to something all day Tomorrow
Apologies for the delay to those interested
this is such a tease of a for sale thread! 
report back to us when you have a) actually got the wheels off the car, b ) confirmed the specs of the wheels and c) taken some decent photographs of them!
and even then you might be waiting for a sale, depending on how seriously people are adhering to the current 'stay at home' guidance...

It’s not on purpose, genuinely.
The person who bought them new and had them fitted to the car hasn’t kept any paperwork and can’t remember the spec’s (He replied to my email yesterday)
My Brother in Law’s job means he’s not working from home, so not available until later on (he’s very local and can drop the jack to me and stand well back!)
I’m taking my partner to London tomorrow for a medical appointment (100% very essential travel)
....Believe me when I say I can’t wait to see my new 437m’s on my car.
