I have some BBS CH 19s that were on a 335i that I may put on my 545 if they fit. I cannot check the fitment on the rear because tehre is no tire on the rear wheels. I need some help deciding if these wheels will fit.

The specs are as follows:

Front: 19x9 offset 35
Rear: 19x11 offset 20

Any help would be awesome and possible tire sizes would be great.

Thanks

Rear offset is too aggressive for 11" width.

You can tell if they fit better without tires. Mount them up and see how close the wheel is to the fender by looking from the top or if it pokes out.

But all in all, 12mm-15mm spacer up front, and run a stretched tire setup and you're good to go. You'll for surely need to roll your rear fenders and even flare them a bit (nothing any person with experience/tools can't handle). You'll probably need to get a 245 or 255 in the rear and 225 or 235 size tire in the front.
