I have just bought these wheels:



because I like them, they are light-weight and I think they will suit the E61 M-Sport 535d just fine.


Front: 8,5J X 18 ET29 Michelin 245/40 R18 93Y

Rear: 2 X 9,5J X 18 ET23 Michelin 265/40 R18 97Y

How do I know how big spacers do I need to get? Please help.

I found this: Everything you wanted to know about wheel spacers so that should help but anyway, if you have something to add, don't hesitate to help me, thanks!

Quick guess from looking at the those wheel widths for a pretty flush fitment:

15mm spacers in the front
(29 - 15) = ET14

5mm spacers in the rear
(23 - 5) = ET18

you also might want to check out http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp
its a pretty good offset calculator.
plug in your current setup and future setup and see what happens in terms of clearance and stance.
