I have purchased some Alpina wheels (Front: 7Jx16 (ET11), rear: 8Jx16 (ET24)). They were off E23 735i (hopefully a good engine donar).
These increase the track on the front more due to the differnt offset (ET11).
Do they fit these to E9's and if so are any changes needed?
What is the offset on original CSL 7x14 rims?

I am looking at 205-55 on front and 225-50 tyres on rear.
I just need to make sure I dont have problems with the front guards (fenders? I think you call them).

Yes, these wheels should fit a E9 fine.... Many of the Alpina prepared CS's and CSL's had these same wheels.

You may have to roll the rear fender lips to clear the tires. The front fenders should be fine.
