BMW style 354

I have found a a cheap set of BMW style 354 alloys. Will these fit a E90?

The offset are same as E90 but the wheel is only 7.5".

Ive used online calculators which suggest the new wheels will have MORE clearance to the suspension strut which I presume is fine.

But on the front they will also poke out 6.3mm less than the current wheels and 9.7mm on the back.

I presume i'll need 5mm spacers on front and 10mm on rear?

It should fit fine. The only question is brake clearance. Looks like they're from the E84 X1, which shares a lot of parts with the E9x including the brake calipers, so more than likely it will be fine.

If not, spacers will help clear them the brakes. Spacers are optional otherwise and just for cosmetics...only if you want to make them more "flush" looking.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes they from an X1. And your right about the brake clearance. My E90 has 335i front brake setup.

A bit concerned about the brake clearance now, as the front will sit 6.3mm in, I presume they will be closer to the caliper now?
