    Thanks for the link , I think that to fit the wheels right I will néed 8-10mm spacer in front,
    But the main question is if the rears with 39mm offset will fit without rubbing wheel arches?
    Anybody has experience with those sizes?

    This is stock setup from the link:
    550/575M Five Spoke/Modular 18”, 5 X 108 mm
    Front 8.5J X 18 ET 43.65 mm, Rear 10.5J X 18 ET 32 mm

    The rears will fit fine. I have 12.5Jx19 rear wheels plus 25 mm spacers and there is no rubbing. Other Maranello owners have 13Jx19 rear wheels with no problems. The rear wheel arches are huge. You will probably want spacers on the rears, while the fronts will be fine.

    Thanks for the support, I got my tires from tire rack and tried them on.
    Tahanjan was absolutely right , the fronts fits just fine, however the rears will need some spacers. I am also going need some new bolts , because the BBS's have a smaller diameter holes for them.
    Need help to source bolts and spacers, please help.

    My car has Hill Engineering Type 2 25 mm spacers on the rear, availble from Ricambi.

    By smaller diameter wheel holes, do you meant the threaded portion of the wheel bolts will not fit through the holes or the bolt heads are too big?

    Yes the bolt heads are too big, I did some research and looks like any 14x1.5 bolt will fit,
    I think H&R sells them and 15mm spacers .Do you think it will be enough wide ?

    to my knowledge... none of the BBS LM wheels for the v12 cars need spacers. my 19" LM versions did not......

    i'd call BBS USA.

    With 15 mm spacers, you will need longer bolts. I am not familiar enough with the BBS wheels to know what you need. Best advice is like Henry said, call BBS. Henry had a set of BBS LMs for his 575M before he sold the car.

    I found some OEM BMW 7 series wheel bolts at my local dealer that worked perfectly for my BBS LMs. I can be more specific if u need. I can't remember specifics off hand. Let me know if u need specs and I will find them
