CSL alloys for E90

[gareth h]

Guys, I saw a set of genuine csl alloys on e bay which suggested they also fitted the E90, does anybody know if this is the case?

They will have the same stud spacing at 5 x 120, the CSL wheels are 8.5jx19 ET44 front, 9.5jx19 ET27 rear, E90's typically ( sport model ) run 8jx19 ET 37 front, 9jx19 ET 39 rears.
The difference in front offset can be taken care of with a hubcentric spacer if required, the rear however, may stick out beyond the wheel arch, in whcih case will need the hub machining down in order to bring them in within the arch they may then hit on the inner arch or caliper, without trying this one it's difficult to say.
Ask the seller if he has tried them on an E90.

Replicas may be the way forward for ease of fitment

Probably just me, but i'm not sure about e46 alloys on an e90, but thats just a personal choice thing.

The reason I asked was I looked at a D3 Alpina which had 235/19 and 265/19, its the first E90 that I've seen that looked 'right', drove well aswell, I just can't quite convince myself that I can live with the 4 cylinder engine. So am considering a 330d with similar mods.
