I’m having new 19inch Riva DTM wheels https://www.lkperformance.co.uk/wheels/riva/395-dtm-hyper-silver?vehicle=1641&front=19x8.0&rear=19x9.0#tyre_brand%5B%5D=121&allround=&fronttyres=&reartyres=&b8id=&wheelid=6186&rearwheelid=6190&addtpms=true fitted to my E89 this week, they are 8inch front (offset 34) and 9inch rears (offset 37) fitted with 225/35/R19 and 255/30/R19 tyres. Will these wheels look better with spacers and if so what size is recommended for front and rear? Thank you for any advice offered.
Wheel spacers on my E89

Well i wouldn't mind 5mm of £50 notes
but yea its pretty small but with wheel widths & offsets you don't need much to swing from perfection to rub or from a good stance to underwheeled 
as you say have them fitted then post some pics up , you will know soon enough 
Mine on Eibachs and with spacers ....
They look good on your car. What size spacers did you use? My car has standard suspension and as you can see from the not very good photos (taken in the garage) the rear doesn’t look as though it could take a spacer and the front doesn’t appear to have much room.

I'm possibly thinking of new csl rep wheels for my Silver e89. What width rims / offsets and spacers did you buy. I was hoping to buy with an offset to already space the wheels out a bit.
Any advise would be much appreciated

Sorry mate not been in for a while, they are the Riva DTM Wheels, these ones ... https://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/product_info.php/new-riva-dtm-csl-alloy-wheels-silver-deep-concave-wide-rear-p-422
I didn't buy them from there mine came from Elite Tyres in Reading, if you call and speak to Chris he will know the space widths as I cant recall.

Thanks for that. They are the ones I'm looking at. Same ones that cm wheels sells also. After some searching I can now see that the rears will stick out another 3mm and the fronts in 5mm so they fronts would need a 5mm spacer in them to bring them back to the same as standard.
Ones my springs are on I'll take a few measurements and see how much wider I can go and then might phone the place you got yours from.

Old post I know jolloyjoiner, but did you get around to spacers and lowering? Do you mind sharing

Yes Tony I did, with Eibach pro springs and 5mm spacers.

Hi Jolly,
How are you getting on with the Eibachs? Looking at it myself, just don’t want to spoil the ride by making it too hard…. Also, have you managed to avoid tyre rub ok?

Looks fantastic!
Ride seems fine, not too much different to the originals and no tyre rubTonyC2.5si said:
I'm now in the process of getting some Bilstein B8 dampers, I have the fronts but not on the car yet as rears are on back order and not available until April.

Wow! Sounds awesome! I’ve got my spacers sorted now, I need to get brave next and go for the eibach pro spring kit! Quite a few people seem to say ‘don’t’ because you’ll spoil it - but that certainly doesn’t seem to be your experience! - and it certainly looks way better than stock!
