Determining BBS lm front or reverse mount

So I bought a set of bbs lm which has the face mounted in front.
Specs on the face are

19x9.5 +32
19x11 +25

Previous owner had an f80 so he swapped the faces and I think changed the mount from reverse mount to front to achieve a higher offset to fit his car. Is there any way to confirm these wheels are to have reverse mounted faces? Based on what I know. When I reverse mount the back spacing seems to agree with the offset spec. Also I do notice a beveled edge on the front of the faces which makes me believe they sit inside the barrel when reverse mounted.

Anyone have a way for me to confirm reverse mounting is the proper setup with these wheels?

Thanks

My 20" BBS LM's for my e90 are reversed mounted, which changed the offset from +15 to +3. So essentially changing the offset by 12mm. Should be close if you reverse mount them.

any pics?
