Hi everyone,
I just got a set of bbs lms from another forum member, they were originally fit on a E46M3.
Fronts are 19x8.5 +32
Rears are 19x10 +25
I know the fronts are not proper offset for my E92, it might need a 10-12mm spacer to sit flush with the fender. However, I have seen people reverse mounted the face and get a lower offset. So I decided to go that route, since I do not want to mess around with spacers. When I checked my wheels today, it seems like my fronts are already reverse mounted, I asked the previous owner and he said he did not reverse the face. So I am pretty confused right now. So does it come from the factory like that? I have done lots of research and could not figured it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

the rears are regular mounted. the fronts do look like its been reverse mounted.

fronts are suppose to be reverse mounted. Rear are not reverse mount.

Thats why ppl reverse mount the rears only.

I see, it seems like spacer is the only way to go.
Thanks!

Thanks!

For a flush mount with an 8.5" et32 you need a 18-20+ mm spacer. I'm currently using a 12 mm spacer with the OEM 18" ET29 and my wheels are not flush. However, this is as far as I wanted to shift the front so I'm happy with how things look AND perform.

Ya, I will probably go front 15 rear 12. I do not want them stick out too much, also I am going to lower my car with H&R lower springs. Hope it turns out well.

Using a 15 mm spacer with your 32 mm offset is equivalent to my 12 mm spacer and 29 mm offset - I think you'll like it. I'm running an aftermarket suspension and I have zero rubbing issues with a lowered ride height and the 12 mm spacer.

I used a 18mm spacer up front and 15mm on the rears when I had those wheels. Not even close to sticking out.

Yes, I had already suggested to the OP that he'd need to run a 20+ mm spacer to get a "flush" fitment with those wheels.

I will try 15 and 12 first and see how I like them.
