Hi. I saw a set of BMW style 93 wheels on craigslist that look perfect for winter. They're 8J18 with an offset of 24. Tires are 245/50-R18. My stock front is 8J18 offset 20 with 245/40-R18 Other than buying them and trying, how do I figure out if these will fit my car? Does anyone have any experience with these wheels on the front of a 5 series? (I think they should fit the rear as I've currently got 9J18 offset 32 in the back.) The seller claims they fit his 5 series.... I'd like your unbiased opinions!
Thanks for your time.

Wheels will fit, but the tires are the wrong size. And you'd probably want to use a 12 or 15mm spacer in the rear. 245/40/18 is what you need.
