F22 wheels on F30?

Found a good deal on a set of 405m 19" wheels, but they are off a M235i. Offsets are

ET45 235/35-19 front / ET52 255/35-19 rear

stock 400m wheels are

ET34 225/45-18 front / ET47 255/40-18 rear

So I would need a 15mm spacer in the front and 10mm in the rear. Does that sound like it would work. Any other problems with this setup. Thanks

i'd use 12.5mm spacers for front and rear which would be equivalent offsets of +32.5 front, +39.5 rear. you could also increase the rear spacer to 15mm, for equivalent offset of +37 rear, if you want it more flush. you might consider a stud conversion kit as it makes life much easier to install or remove your wheels.

your existing front wheel gap will increase 1/4" with the 235/35/19. 225/40/19(oem size) would be better up front.

Was worried about the wheel gap. It's already giant considering I have an xdrive model. Might reconsider I know the tire diameters need to be within 1% for xdrive.

235/35/19 and 255/35/19 is a 2% difference and will likely cause problems with x-drive. in addition to the four spacers, you now have to buy two front tires. reconsidering the purchase is prudent.

i'd say forget it and just get appropriately sized wheels and tires.
