they are type 32s, +20mm front and +26mm rear offset. i am planning the same thing, down to the tire size. most likely will need to have the fender lips rolled. i havent test fit mine yet. good luck.

thanks for the quick response, my buddy has a 01 540I 6SPD and the full size spare rim which matches has a 245/45 tire on and i mounted it on the front
not to metion my front is completely slammed and it fit perfect, and with about 3-4mm of space from rubbing the fender and turned perfectly fine, so im guessing i should be good... Im deff tryna get that stretched look, do you think those sizes will stretch good?
