Yes they are necessary as the offset on the sport wheels are 20 ET back and 37 ET front, the standard wheels are 46 ET front and back. This means the wheels will extend out by 45mm back and 15mm front per side.
You can put 19" 20" wheels with a maximum offset of 48 ET front and 53 ET back without putting on the arches. This is a BMW factory option.
Personaly i like the wider look the sport wheels and arches give, plus wider wheelbase means better handling.
