Will the stock 18in M3 wheels fit a 2008 E92?

I'll need spacers right? What size?

is it 5mm on the front and 14mm on the rear?

______________________Wheels____ ET______Difference________Tires
M3_____Style 219M_____8.5x18_____29______________________245/40ZR18
_____________________9.5x18______23_______________ _______265/40ZR18

335Xi___Style 188_______8x17______34______5_______________225/45R17
______________________8.5x17_____37______14_______ _______255/40R17

so it looks like a add a 5mm to the front and 14mm to the rear, am I doing this right?

No need for spacers as the M3 wheels already will have a very aggresive fitment, you might need to roll the rear fenders and change the stock M3 tires to normal e90 non M size.

Thanks and ...
Oh, I didn't check the rolling Diameter! I should check that.
That's what you mean, right?

Yes, that, and the fact that the 265/40/18 M3 tire will be more likely to rub than the standard sized 255/35/18 tire.

no he means to roll the rear fenders, by pressing the edge of the wheel well up and around, so it gives the wheel more room. just search fender rolling

There's no way you can run an ET23 on a Coupe. Max ET30 in my experience.

You have an XI, right? The difference in stock tire diameters is more than 2%, I think you should consider changing them.

Having a more aggressive offset can work if you use thinner tires. But, the wheels won't look as nice in that case...
