I'm thinking about going with the MRR GT1 in silver with a polished lip on my Sapphire Black 535i. 19x8.5 w/ 245-35 tire in front, and 19x9.5 w/ 275-30 tire in the rear. The front offset is 20mm and the rear is 24mm. I'll also be adding Eibach Prokit springs. First off, does anyone have this combo, or has anyone seen this combo? With those offsets would 12 or 15 mm spacers be needed to bring the rear tire flush with the fender? I appologize for being a noobie, and as always, I thank you for your advice and comments. (edit-these aren't my wheels...just found the pics on the internet.)

nice wheels. for the rear wheels to be flushed with the rear fenders, an offset of about ET16 or 17 is desired. even just a 10mm spacer in the rear would give an offset of ET14. as for the combo with the eibach pro-kit, a good number of members have it, including myself, and they are great springs to go with. good luck with the mods. hope this helps.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
My wheels are very similar. I only had the wheel centres colour coded in carbon black.
Sizes on mine are 8.5x20 ET20 and 10x20 ET20. I also ride on Eibach Pro Kit. Not the slightest problem. With these offsets you'll even have some space left to the arch.(fender)
