Been looking around and people saying i will need 20 mm spacers at least . I am guessing this will make the ride poor . I think i will just phone the guy and apologise for wasting his time as i aint looking good .
Sorry for a wasted post lads , thought i would have been answered right away
but the people who know must be still in bed lol

you'll need 10-15mm hub centric spacer at the min for the fronts uh rears you can...Are these M3 19's or non M3 19's
it is non m3 , they have came of an e46 coupe not sure on the model though .
Cheers

Hmm if the Offsets on the rims are in the 40's you'll need long bolts and 20mm spacers at that point you'll be putting unwanted stress on your hub and bearings. What wheels are you looking at post em up

this is the only pic i have , i was wanting to get a proper look at them today . Unfortunately i have began to doubt i will be having any luck with them
Hopefully you can guess the rims lol
but no harm done , think i will just stick to what i have
The rims were advertised @ 350 apparently like new with good tyre and tread , not sure manufacturer though .

Thanks 525i , they do look very much like it , but all this spacer stuff is putting me of . I have the 5 series MV11's on my e60 at the minute , but the cost of runflats has made me look towards different wheels altogether for the car but i suppose i am better with the original bmw rims rather than changing to some heavy spacer requiring cheap make .
cheers for the help all the same .
