Here is a question that needs some knowledge, or experience. Does anyine know, were these wheels ever fitted to production E9's. I guess that some CSL's had ones of this size.
BMW RIAL wheels
THE FRONT 2 ALLOYS ARE 16" X 8
THE REAR 2 ALLOYS ARE 16 X9
Will I have to change camber angles, roll wheel arches etc to make them fit?

Definitely not stock CS. I can't imagine 8" wheels would fit in front without sticking way out past the fender and/or rubbing on the inside, and you'd definitely need to roll the fenders to have a chance of the tires not tearing them up on a bump.

Agreed on both counts. The offset isn't posted, but when I've seen these sizes they are often ET11.

A LOT of work would be required if you had to have them. Cut or rolled fender lips, stretched tires, camber plates in the front and possibly very small spacers in the front to clear the strut.

Thank you

Guys, thanks for all of the comments, I will leave them for someone else.
FYI currently working a show stand in Hannover, so plenty of sausages to eat!
Best wishes
