Please help - ET/rims confirmation

Hi guys,

I'm buying new forged rims and need and advice on size + ET. Already posted in the tire/suspension/wheel forum, however no reply. Forged rims are expensive so I just want to get a confirmation ideally that I'm not doing a blunder before I take the plunge. THANKS A TON!

I have 540ix G30 and I will go 19s (lighter, good for handling, we have bad roads ) and put 255/295 tires on it (+10mm front, +20mm back; already checked - overall size is good). I'm thinking 19/8,5 ET25 front and 19/10 ET41 back. Its basically the same setup as OEM 20s.

1. Is the offset OK? I've seen some people run ET36 back on 10s . Its like putting 12mm spacers front/back. Or with 36 and 20mm back, but then back is 8mm more out than front. I aim for best handling and no rub .
2. Is 8,5 enough for 255s and 10 for 295s? Or go 0,5 more on each? For handling/sporty driving. This smaller concave or this wider flat? I think 8,5/10 is enough and it will be a bit lighter, but I've noticed sports/M cars have rather flat vs concave and dont know why.

Please save me! THANKS A TON!
