Looking to put a set of rims on my E92.

Rims are 19x8.5 et43 all around.

I'm currently rocking the stock 18x8 and 18x8.5 with et34 and et37 offsets.

Doesn't this mean that my new rims will actually have a shallower offet? Will they even fit? Or will they be too sunken in and not look right or even rub on the strut?

It's telling me:

Front:
15mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT 3mm

Rear:
6mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT 6mm

They will fit and will clear inside, but will be more sunken in (3mm front 6mm rear) than your stock ones. I would seriously consider spacers with those probably something like 10-15mm front and 20-25mm rear depends on the tyre size.

After doing some math, I don't think I will mind or notice 3-6mm in how the rim extends. I'm most concerned about clearance of the front strut. 15mm is .6 of an inch.

No worries there. About 7-8mm room to stock shocks. I have 9.5 et30 at front and it has same inner clearance as 8.5 et43. I even had 9.5 et35 before and it was 2-3 from stock shocks and it wasn't problem.

You don't need spacers, but it would improve the look especially at rear.

12mm spacers all around minimum, otherwise its not going to look good

Awesome. You are a life saver.

I'm not sure I'm going to notice 3mm or 6mm. The stock rims already have a decent stance. I may indeed go with spacers eventually, but for now, I just want to throw these on and go.

They should fit but definitely consider spacers.
