Thanks guys.
Let's take the rear wheel:
- My wheel is 8,5x19 ET14 and it will push 9,395mm out from the wheel hub line without any spacer --> with 12mm spacer it pushes out 10,595mm
- M166 wheel with M5 offset (9,5x19 ET28) will push 9,265mm out from the wheel hub line without any spacer --> with 12mm spacer it will push out 10,465mm
- M166 wheel with M6 offset (9,5x19 ET17) will push 10,365mm out from the wheel hub line without any spacer --> with 12mm spacer it will push out 11,565mm
So go figure
.
Yes. I already had them for my winter setup so it wasn't a problem.

Looks great! 
I put them on my E61 because I needed them to clear the air suspension on the inside, but after seeing what it does to the look, I had the same reaction as you.... why didn't I do this sooner?!
