I'm getting these wheels soon, should i get spacers?

This is regarding a e90 328i without sport package.
I'm getting these wheels soon :
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135625
front: 30 ET
rear: 45 ET
H&R sport springs will be on it soon. Is it okay for me to put on spacers? if it's okay, what the maximum sized spacer i can use without fender rolling required? and will it rub? I'll be putting the wheels on a e90.

People with more knowledge can correct me.

You will be fine with 15mm spacer in the rear since the width of rear wheel is 9.5. If not, some minor fender roll or tires with rounder side walls will do the trick.

+1

12-15mm spacer at the rear should be perfect.

Like yamazaho said, 15mm spacers will make those wheels sit flushed with the fender.

i think 10mm spacers will be good. i read on the rogue website that there needs to be a thing built into the wheel where you can pry off the spacer or something if i get stuck? iono if the wheels will have those things :/

It's built into their spacers, not the wheel.

Edit: Is your car RWD or AWD?
