Thanks!

Down to 3 options two of which are expensive forged wheels, and the third which is bargain price, rotary forged. All are 18" but around 20lbs each so light. To replace the stock wheels. Looking for a relatively stock not aggressive look, and don't want to worry about fender rolling, etc so clearance important.

I prefer not to have spacers but would consider them.

Which is the best sizing? And if the forged ones are, is it so much better? thanks, 2008 e90

Option 1 (inexpensive, rotary forged, 18", 20lbs)
front Size: 18x8.5, 38mm Offset
rear 18x9, 45mm Offset

Option 2 (bbs, forged, 20lbs 18", expensive)
18x 8" 35 offset
18x9.5 40 offset

Option 3 (bbs, forged, 20lbs, 18", expensive)
18x8.5" 38 offset
18x9.0" 45 offset

Which is best clearance, not requiring spacers?

thanks,
