Rim offset

As i urgently need to know this...


does higher offset mean safer to install BMW perf suspension? My current ET42 without spacer means risky? Also if i add a spacer incase it DOES scratch does that mean it'll remove that issue?

Im confused whether higher ET or lower ET means lower chance of scratch.

A lower offset will push the wheel away from the strut side, in other words, the wheel will stick more out.
