hi guys I'm interested in getting some rims for my early model e60 530i

now they are rear19"x9" +38 255/40
fronts 19"x8" +38 255/35

what spacers will I need to run?
and are they a staggered type....I can't tell from three pictures?
I won't need to roll my guard or anything stupid right?

first time buying rims so anus invite would help, I've read up about it but can't get my head around it. e60 offset +20 so do I need 18mm spacers? or?

thanks guys

before answering your question, why are you running a staggered setup with square tires?

Well here's the thing ... on eBay you really need to pay attention ... the seller listed those tire sizes now carefully look at each pic and spot the tire size ... they don't match ...

Staggered setup usually has higher/bigger sidewall number on the front (for example 35 front & 30 rears) not the other way around.

Yeah with such offset you'll need at least 18mm to be flush w/ the fenders maybe 20mm if not more.

My take on those they are look like 235/35 & 255/30 ...

Wait ... are those even real OEM??? AFAIK M3 wheels ar 8.5" & 9.5" and their offset are like around ET29/23 or something like that...

Staggered set up usually have bigger sidewall number on the front not the contrast one as with such offset one will require at least 18mm to be flush with the fenders may be 20mm.
