Memphis,
I plugged some numbers into the Tire Rack Table (see below) according to the results it should be okay? Or am I missing something. The add is saying BMW ///M wheels 18 inch 40 offset and 72.6 hub. My plans would be to use them for winter tires.
Here are 2 of the pictures
Here is a photo of my M3 Wheel (sold this year) guess it is hard to tell if the wheel is an OEM or Reproduction
This is a 19 Inch OEM wheel on my 2002 M3 sold this past spring
Here is the data I plugged into the table from Tire Track (did I screw up?)
