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

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!

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