Car: BMW 525d E61 06 NON m-sport

Wheels and tyres: 9x19 255/35r19 offset 11 in front and 8 in rear.

What do you guys think? are they gonna fit or do i have to do some fender work on the car?
Because i want to lower the car after the wheel fitment about 30-40mm in front and match the rear whit 20-30mm

Sorry if my English is bad

Here's a useful calculator: http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

You can type in the original and new wheel/tire specs and compare them. Then you can go next to your car with measuring tape and make the conclusions. That's what I did, before I purchased my 20's

I think you will have some trouble installing them because of rubbing.
9x20 would be 275/30/19, but an offset of 8 is not much... I have some OEM 167 and have 275/30/19 with an offset of 17 and it sits flush without spacers with no rubbing at all, but an offset of 8 is very hazardous IMHO..

Please post pictures soon. The ET sounds quite radical, so I'm eager to see how they look.
