i know, i know...another will it fit question...

19x8.5 inch 19x9.5 inch, 5x120mm 35mm/40mm

I've already searched through the sticky above and I'm horrible with math...they're BMW rims so I know the bolt pattern issue, but would the above rims fit work with that backspace, etc? Would I run into issues of rubbing, etc? TIA!

8.5
Tire edge outside fender = +19mm
Tire edge slightly inside fender = +35mm
Tire edge matches stock SS/WS6 wheel = +44mm
Tire edge matches stock wheel = +60mm (may have backspace problem with front steering knuckle.

OK...let's see if I understand. If the front 19x8.5 has a 35 mm offset it will be slightly inside the fender and will work?

9.5
Tire edge outside fender = +32mm
Tire edge slightly inside fender = +49mm
Tire edge matches stock SS/WS6 wheel = +57mm

The most trouble free setup is an offset in the range of 45-56mm.

And if the rear 19x9.5 has a 40mm offset it will be just slightly outside the edge of the fender, but will work?

Again, TIA!

I know...it's off of a BMW...that's a whole other search issue. Some people run them with no probs, some say they break studs and cause loose lugnuts...tons of info out there on this...

I know that the right bolt pattern will not give me failure issues, and that maybe a bimmer wheel will, breaking studs I'm not into. I don't like maybe's on something that is as important as my wheels fitting and staying on the car, just my feelings on this.
