Planning to get 19's. do i have to adjust nething to make it fit?(so it wont rub on anything) The reason i like the M5 rims is because it have that little dash look on it than an plain 5 star look. have you guys seen anything similar to it? if you have can you post the pic? Thanks

BMW's have a very low stock offset = no dice

kinda like +30

Would adding a wheel spacer(10 to 15mm) help?

I might be simplfying things too much or not exactly understanding how things work.

no, if you look here on my boy Anthony's M3, these are 19", 5 x 120 lug pattern vs our 5 x 114.3

Stock offset is 35mm
Spacers are not a recommended item, and in this situation, spacers would push the wheels even further out from the wheelwell...sort of like reverse dayton wire wheels.

Think of it like this:

the lower the number, the closer to the wheelwell it is...a 35 offset would surely stick out, especially if it is a 7-8" wide wheel.
the higher it is, the closer it is to the inner part of the vehicle...think about an impala on skinnies (for all my W Coast people)

ive seen knock-off m5 rims in some magazines. dont remember any specifics, but im sure if you search around a little, you could find them. and they probably make different offsets.
