wheel offset for17 inch alloys?

[dhobbs]

Probably one for Mr Wills but what's the minimum offset that you can have on a e85?

I've seen some e89 17 inch wheels (for winter) but are et29. Is this too small.
I plan to put on 225/45 rubber.

Thanks

depends on the width? presuming theyre 8J You should be ok with et29 on a 8j & a 225.

Looking at style 290
They're 8j.

I want something easy to clean during the winter, so some 5 spokes are good.

Currently have 135s which take ages to get into all the nooks and crannies!

Yeah if your not lowered those specs will be fine.

Hmm. You'll probably get rubbing on full lock it's the equ8fielnt of running you're current front wheels on 18mm spacers

Thanks, maybe I'll give those e89 alloys a miss then.
Back to searching for new alloys.
