Got these wheels off a friend brand new for a killer price. They are RPM R-505's, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rears. I am in need of BMW center caps and valve stems though if anyone knows a good place! I ordered my tires from Tire Barn today, and they should be in by Tuesday. I will post pics as soon as I get them mounted! Also, any spacer recommendations?? Are they hard to install because Tire Barn won't do it for some reason?

Good looking wheels!
Spacers are not difficult to install, you can do it by yourself. But to know the right size (thickness), we need to know the offsets of the wheels.

Thanks! Damn, I threw the boxes away and the offset was on them! I thought the rear said 30, but I'm not even positive about that...I suppose I could call the manufacturer on Monday...

Ok I just got off the phone with a company that sells them. He said the offsets are: rear--38 front--20.

I would put +5 in the front and minimum +15 in the rear (although I would personally go with +20) since your wheels are only 9.5'' width in the rear with +38 offset which is pretty high.
