I have some nice VMR V710 that I had from my BMW Z4.
Would you guys recommend I put them on my 2006 530i with sport e60?? Will they fit with spacers?
The wheels I have are
Front 19 x 8.5 offset (et) 35
Rear 19 x 9.5 offset (et) 45
The tires need to be changed so I'm open to tire sizes.
Or
Do I sell the wheels and get new ones again (One wheel has a gash on the side, otherwise mint)
Thanks.

20mm spacers in front and rear. If you end up goinf this route, I recommend spacers that are bolted in the axle and the wheel is attached into the spacer with another bolts.

Or sell them to a forum member with xi / awd and buy a set with the proper offset w/o needing spacers.

How do you come up with the optimal spacer size?
Thanks,

Then, at the rear I've had a 8.5x19 ET14 with a 12mm spacer --> ET2. Comparing that to 9.5x19 ET45 with a 20mm spacer tells us that your wheel would still sit 10mm more in.
