Hi everyone,

First post on here and wanted to ask for insight on these BBS wheels for auction on bringatrailer: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/bbs-e28-three-piece/

Wheel specs are:
• 5x120 Bolt Pattern w/72.5mm Center Bore
• Magnesium Faces w/Alloy Barrels & Lips
• 8.5" Wide Fronts w/29mm Offset
• 10" Wide Rears w/22mm Offset

It seems they were made for the E46 M3. I have an E92 2011 BMW 335i N55, 19” wheels with Continental tires 265/30 rears and 245/35 fronts. In my research it seems the bolt pattern and bore are compatible, but I'm reading the offsets are too low on these BBS wheels to fit my car. I don’t know what the offsets are on my current wheels as I bought the car with them on. Car is lowered with Eibach lowering springs. I am thinking of going to 18s for a bit more comfortable ride, in part due to our roads here in the Bay Area. I am fine with running spacers if needed. Any insight on fitment would be appreciated.

Thank you
-Ces
