By my calculations you should not need any spacers and it will sit flush. The rear stance should be similar to your stock 351M wheels with a 18mm spacer (calculation is actually 17mm but nobody makes 17mm spacers). You can play with sizes and offsets here.

Thanks Bake! This is extremely helpful. I am fairly optimistic this setup will work (the calculator gives me comfort). 15mm wider up front gives me some pause, though, because I am not a fan of having the wheel stick out farther than flush. It seems like it will be very close, though. (There is also some conflicting info on the e65 wheel being et22 or et24.)
