I purchased some wheels for my car on ebay. They state that they manufacture wheels. I was told that in order for the rear wheels to fit properly, they would have to change the offset from a 40 offset to a 43 offset. Does this make sence to any one? Is it possible to do this to wheels already manufactured or could they do this when manufacturing the wheel?
they use spacers or adaptors and quite frankly that is NOT adviseable especially for a car that has cornering-performance capabilities.
if you have a BMW and are looking to enhance the rims (larger or better than stock you should be buying them from a company with a GUARANTEED FITMENT POLICY and that bolt directly onto the car – no spacers – no adapters.

you pay so much to have your car serviced, maintained, repaired, why would you consider going cheap and poorly fitting on aftermarket wheels?

yes just get some 43 inch spring and there you go

The offset of a wheel is determined when it is made. The offset can be moved out when mounted on the car with spacers. But not in. A change in off set will affect car handling and wear. A change of 3 mm should not be that noticeable. The scrub radius of the tire has been increased and the engineered point for the center of the tire no will no longer match the actual point of contact.
