Which Spacer?

[OPG81]

Hi guys. I'm new to this so please bear with me. I have a 2004 BMW 525i and a set of Hamann PG2 wheels. The wheels are 19x8.5. I went to the local rim shop to have them installed and they fit on perefect but the front wheels couldn't turn. I believe I was told that I needed spacers. I wasn't really comfortable with the rim shop so I left. My question is how do i figure out which spacers to order? How many Millimeters do I need? Is there anybody out there that can help? Also, do I need spacers all around and which brand is the way to go? I'd really like to avoid as much vibration as possible. I was on the phone with Bavarian Autoworks and the sales rep suggested 5 or 10 millimeters, but he wasn't sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you need to know the offset on the wheels and the offset for the car.

Where did you get the wheels from they can probably tell you just what you need.

Could you tell me where I can find the info for the offset? Thanks

nope cause i would have to search for that, an e30 is et30 if IIRC. Just search something like "2004 bmw 325i wheel offset" on google is that the e60 i don't remember the code would also help. For the wheels call hamman or whoever sold them to you and you should be able to get that info, or search the internet.

Sorry I just dont have time at the moment to go searching for this info that i know is out there.

Thanks for the advice. I contacted Eibach and lots of other online sellers and they all tell me the same thing. I have to put the rims on and then measure from the outside of the tire to the fender. Which I guess it means it could be anywhere from 5 millimeters to 25 millimeters. Every size shows up that it could be for the car. Maybe I'm being to anal. I was thinking it had to be a specific one but all the sales people say pick the one that works.
