Question Offset Question, please advise

Hoping all you e9x gurus can help me out.
I am interested in a set of wheels for sale. When I went to see them I looked on the back to check out the properties.
The two front wheels are 19 x 8 et30
the rears are 19 x 9.5 et40
I want to put them on my 07 e92 335i.
I believe the tires are 225 front and 265 rear. They are a beautiful set of wheels, IMO, but I do not want to use spacers. I just want to make sure they will fit nice and look good. More importantly they have to ride well.
Thanks ahead of time for any useful input!

Side question, as offset increases does the wheel get closer to the fender?

As offset increases the wheel gets further away from the fender. Those wheels have a relativly conservative offset, they'll fit fine.

That really depends on the wheel. I can't say. The offset won't look weird though if that's what you're asking.

Yea that's exactly what I was worried about. I don't want them to look funny. Not interested in becoming the joke of the neighborhood,lol. I guess only thing to do now is test mount them so I can see for myself, unless I can find some pictures with the same offset online. Thanks for the info!

Fronts will be perfect with a 225 tire. You can also swap them to a 235 if you prefer a beefier look. Rears can be pushed out about another 5mm if you would like a bit more of a flush fitment.

Thanks, I see. Yes I am looking for a flush fitment, But Im not a fan of spacers at all. If I have to use spacers, this may be the deal breaker for me. They are Privot wheels. I forget the style but they are a 5 spoke design.

The wheels will work, but it may appear a hair sunken...

Our VMR V715's are offered in a 8.5 +38 and a 9.5 +30 if you have the proper E9x Non-M fitments.

Assuming that you do and you might have mistaken the width and offsets, our fitment will be flush on all 4 corners.
