Style 107's on an E89

I don't think that would work without spacers.

107s are ET47 fronts and ET50 rears, whereas staggered 18s on E89s are ET29 front and ET40 rear. So 107s on an E89 would sit 18mm further into the arch on the front and 10mm on the rear.

So you'd need at least 20mm spacers on the front and 10mm on the rear, but if you don't mind spacers it could be done (although I'm not a fan of them)!
 
Love the 107's but can't help thinking they are very much of their time - I can't think of a wheel that looks better on the E85 but not sure they would suit the E89.
Obviously the need for spaces is probably why I haven't seen one with them on.
 
I love the 107s too, but given the fitting limitations I can see why they probably haven't been fitted to E89s.

I did the opposite and fitted E89 wheels to an E86, which worked pretty well as they sat further out in the arches without spacers!

I bought a set of 295s (staggered 18s) for my 2nd E86 and really liked them, although they seem to be NLA so used set would be the only option.

As we're on z4forum a photo seems essential. :lol:

I swapped wheels with Smartbear a few years ago when I had my e85 they went on ok and even passed an MOT :wink:
Only pic I took but you get the idea.

I prefer the 107s on the later Zed over the original alloys :thumbsup:
