Hi, i dont know alot about alloys, but i have found a set of rims i like, only problem is the front is 8.5j by 19 et40, could i use this alloy on the front of my e60 say with a 20-25mm spacer? Would this be bad for the car or anything? The rear is 9.5j by 19 et 22, so that should be fine without a spacer right? Thanks.

What model car do you have? The front is NOT an ideal offset, if your car is a standard, RWD E60. That said, I would keep looking.

Hey C, its a 2006 e60, rwd on sport suspension. So it wouldn't be a good idea to use the front wheel with a spacer? could it mess anything else up if i did use the wheel with a big spacer?
