Will 19 x 9.5 ET33 fit an XiT with a spacer?

Looking at a set of rims:

Front: 19x 8.5 5x120 ET35
Rear: 19x 9.5 5x120 ET33

I'm sure the fronts will fit, the rears are definitely too deep, but will they work with a spacer, or will I need to roll the fenders?

15mm spacers on all four hubs should see you allright without rolling arches

don`t think you`ll need spacers because ET for Xi models is 43, so 33 will stick out for 10 mm.

Wasn't as concerned with the sticking out, but since they are 9.5 in the rear, and the self leveling suspension makes it tighter, was concerned they would rub on the inside

I did the numbers here. http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12. The wheel will push out 35 mm on the outside which seems close I THINK not sure you'll have to fender roll and you'll lose 15mm on the strut side. Keep in mind in case of a suspension failure you will want to have clearance or a bad thing can get worst.

Thanks TL. Yeah, don't wanna have to roll fenders or risk rubbing on the inside. Looks like I'll have to pass on these rims.

Hi GummysDad

Newbie here

Hopefully I'm not asking foolish questions.

Would you care to share more information on the Rims, style, color.
