My Ride: 2004 525i Alpine White / Tan

Well I got a good deal on a MINT set of OEM Style 249 19s off an 09 650i with tires and Im curious to see if they will fit. Ive done COUNTLESS research and still cannot come up with a definitive answer. I want to run a thicker sidewall so the stock 245/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears will be what I want and I know the recommended size is 245/35 and 275/30 but I put the wheels and tires in a calculator and measured the same overall height as 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 which several members are running so Im not too worried about overall diameter with the larger sidewall tire. BUT I notice the offsets are pretty aggressive 19x8.5 F ET 14 and 19x9 R ET 14, is this going to push the wheels too far out and rub the fenders? Im on NON-SPORT suspension currently but purchased some Eibach Pro Springs Im wanting to put on in the near future. I know its alot of info but Id really appreciate the help as Im a NEWB to the 5-series world. Thanks - Josh
