My Ride: '09 535i

Alright, I've finally settled on some wheels but I need a little help. I'm set on VMR V715 19" staggered 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear in a hyperblack finish. Thing is, WHAT THE HECK IS AN OFFSET??? If anyone knows what offset will work with these wheels and my 2009 535i with sports package, please contribute. Please don't just drop URL's, I need some offset numbers!

Thanks

offset corresponds to how far the wheel sits outward. the lower the number, the farther the wheel would protrude outward when mounted. for the 715s, the thing is the offsets are pretty high, but would work for an xi model. on the rear, the 19x9.5 with offset ET22 would work. we've done the set before on an e60 but the front will definitely need a spacer.
