To fit that well those have to be reps.

If you post the offset then I can tell you how far they will extend from stock. The fronts would be ok, its just the rears. For an 8.5" rear wheel the offset should not be less then around 25-27.... I think the 108's are in the 50's.

18" z4m wheels fit... The rears stick out a lot more then oem but don't look too bad. But the profile of the tires are taller too... So cannot be reused.

I used to fret about offsets on my first car. Had to get the arches rolled out to fit wider wheels.

Saying that... going from et50 to et27 with a wheel that's wider by an inch - aint gonna fit,no matter whether you roll the arches :(
