as some of you know i've been after some alpina wheels

just came across these auction ends tmrow

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130435983594&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

he said they were on his e39 with spacers do i assume they are not originally for the e39

so i have asked the seller for part number and the offset he has given me the part numbers which are fronts
36 11 169 and rears 36 11 170.

the fronts are 8J and
the rears are 8.5J.

i think these are of a e36 or e46

will these go on my car???

will my steering vibrate ??

will i need spigot rings??

hes going to get back to me with the offset tmrow

thanks

the tyre size 225.40,18 and 255.35.18

If he had to lower the offset with spacers, you will likely need spacers as 5ers and 7ers have roughly the same wheel offset. If they were on a E39, chances also are that the hub is larger and you will need to run a hubcentric ring. 74.1mm for E39 hub diameter vs. 72.56mm for E38 hub diameter.
