Lez, CarlH,

Thank you for your valuable information!!
Today, I bought wheel spacer(5mm) and tried to put the wheel.That's make perfectly fit!! however one another problem is that the original wheel bolt are not enough length(25mm).
Therefore, I've already asked mechanic shop to find 40mm bolt for this wheel set.
One question; can 8.5J-17inch offset13 fit 840ci front?
Because I am asking, I've heard wheel spacer has a problem from safety point of view. If it is true, I'd like to find best fit wheel but same design. My owners mannual describes 16inch original wheel has offset15, it mean I think it is better to have offset13(8.5J) rather than offset2(9J) with wheel spacer.

Anyway, thanks again and Happy New Year!!
