I don't understand the 5*120 et40 bit - could someone explain thanks.

5x120 is the bolt pattern and the et40 is the offset. Our e90's have 5x120 bolt pattern. Offsets will vary depending on the desired look and how much u plan on lowering the car because of rubbing issues.

I think most people here have 35-40 offset in the front on 19x8.5 wheels. The rear offset is tricky. I'm running 22mm offset, with ZSP on 19X9.5 wheel. No rubbing as of now and a very aggressive look, the wheels are perfectly flush with the rear fender. I need to lower a bit though (but if I do, I may start to rub, so still debating this). So if you want an aggressive look, you should try rear offsets around 22-28ish, but if you want to be more conservative, go with 30+ in the rear. These offsets are for 9.5 width wheels. You will need to adjust the offset according to the width of the wheel u plan on getting, so play with the configurator to see what works best for u.
