Wanted to make sure you compare wheel size with tires. Hub, bolts should be fine

Thank you. The fronts are both ET 48. However the rears are ET 45. What does ET 45 mean? As I'm a noob to all this wheels stuff.
So it should bolt right up without any mods?

BMW uses "ET _ _" or sometimes "IS _ _" which represents the wheel's offset. The blank spaces will contain a number that represents millimeters. So ET45 means that the wheel has a 45mm offset.

The link in Smokey53's post above goes into greater detail as to what wheel offset is.

This explains it well....it's better to read it an understand it yourself. It's like the offside rule in soccer, lots of people know it, understand it - but if they try to explain it to someone as a concept it gets weird.

Will 255/65/r17s fit? Just want to be sure that going 2cm wider won't affect turning/braking.
