Guys, I'm just wondering if a set of E60 (5 series) wheels will fit without arch work:

The wheels in question are 7.5J x 17" and have an offset of ET20 with 225/45 tyres fitted all round, or they will be if they are OK as I'll be looking for a set of wInter tyres.

Currently I have:
Front 8.5J x 19" with 225/35 tyres, offset with 10mm spacer is an aggregate ET33
Rear 8.5J x19" with 255/30 tyres, offset with 16mm spacer is an aggregate ET27, or an alternative offset with 16mm spacer is aggregate ET23 with 235/35 tyres.
These are ACS recommended offsets from their tables.
Obviously E92 8J x 17" are ET34 by the BMW book.

The rears look like they will be fine according to the above, but what about the fronts?

Difference is 13mm further out (ET33-ET20), but is this difference counteracted by the fact they are an inch narrower (8.5J-7.5J), so I'll probably end up with about the same offset in reality?

Thanks if you could help please!
