BMW e46 coupé with Style 5's - How to fit?

[kwest]

First of, Hi! I'm the new kid on the forum

I've recently bought my first e46, a alpine white 320ci and I've falled in love with stance since I first saw the style.

So my plans are to get my ride as low, as wide as yours

I've bought a set of BBS style 5's and want to run of following fitment:
F 17x8 195/45/17
R 17x9 215/40/17

Now there is a big problem, I'm not that cunning in how to setup the car!
What do I have to do to get these wheels to fit, do I need to modify fenders, spacers etc?

Really would appreciate some help so I could get a good fitment!

And a thread ain't shit without pics!
Here's my car when I bought it

here you go. Click

seems he is running spacers on the rear. "et15" and you need to roll the rear fenders, they are pretty tough, there is a thick sealant that you need to grind away, to get them really flat.

Allright, funny you picked a picture of the car that's inspired me to get my own car fit with style 5's
Thanks!

good fender roll will help alot, and spacers would depend on how flush or how much poke you are looking for, best thing to do is pick out tires and suspension and get the wheels on the car and go from there, also camber can play a big role in getting the wheels to fit as well
