Please help me choose the offset

Ive been searching around and everyone has such different settings.

Front: 19" x 8.5"
Rear: 19" x 9.5"

Here are my choices for the offset
http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...l=Mesh+-+Black

15,30,40 for the front and 15,25,30,45 for the back.
Whats the best offset for looks and driveability? what should I try to avoid?
Is there really a big difference between the choices if it turns out one of them is out of stock?

My cars a 328xi sedan btw.

I would recommend a +40 front and a +30 rear with a 235/275 combo. If you are at stock height, this fitment will be perfect!

Thanks.
It looks like the ET30 might be out of stock. If so, should I get the ET45 for the back and get 15mm spacers? or should I also consider the ET25?

My car is not an xi and I have a 32/35 offset combination. If the wheels I purchased were available in 30/30 that would be a perfect fit for my tastes.

I would wait to get the correct offset for your car. If you are in a pinch, the 45 offset with 15mm spacers will work but might as well wait for the right setup.

+1000. Use spacers only as a last resort
