Yes, I think you're on the spot.

The 19" Style OEM 331 wheels ET's are F 33 and R 44 as they are on my 20" OEM 312's also.

That means that the ultimate ET's for F10 wheels are for a front 8,5 wheel and 245 tire ET28
and for a rear 9" wheel and 275 tire ET29.
Note that changes in wheel width and tire sizes changes the math!

My car without spacers but with OEM 20" wheels https://5series.net/forums/gallery/i...9803-eky-9jpg/

Thanks. The 19" Style OEM 351m wheels have the same offsets, and the tire widths are the same, so now I am thinking that using 12mm on the front, which would be a net ET of 21mm may be too much. It's hard though, for me anyway, to tell what difference a few mm's would make from a picture.
