If you buy new aftermarket wheels you can look for wheels with aggressive offsets directly instead of buying wheels that need spacers to result in a wide stance on F30.

An example of a staggered setup for F30 without need of spacers:
F: 8.5x18" ET35
R: 9.5x18" ET40

1/2" wheel width corresponds to 6mm in offset, which means that a 8" ET29 wheel will look similar to a 8.5" ET35.
That's a lot of info for me lol, what's the offset ? sorry for my ignorance in wheels
the most important thing that I can get 245 & 255 so for instance if i have 9.5 won't it be too much for 255 wide as the rims will be out ? & i don't want that, I want aggressive look while protecting the wheels from road as well
