I'd expect so as I've seen e85s wear e89 shoes.
Why not try and see?

Yes, they'll fit OK. Offsets on E89 are generally F ET29; R ET40 and E85 107 ellipsoids are F ET47; R ET50, so on an E89 they will be 0.7" further in at the front and 0.4" further in at the rear.csm180 wrote:Hi just bought an e89 2.3i 2009 and booked new mot for Friday, then checked tyres and fronts need replacing As I still have my e85 staggered 18 inch epsilloids I wondered if I could temporarily fit them ?.

Eeerrrr no mate that's the wrong way around E85 alloys will most likely fit but not look great & appear sunken in the arches unless spacered out by approx 20mmDavid-H wrote:Yes, they'll fit OK.
