My e91 runs 17-inch staggered wheels: 225/45/17s on rims 7x8 ET34 front and 245/40/17 17x8.5 ET39 rear.

From running the calculators, it looks like the e61 rims will work: 17x7.5. Figuring 205/45/17 winter tires. Or 225/45/17s. Or 50s in either. Looks like 45s lower about .5 inches and 50s raise by a similar amount in the 205s.

Can anyone please confirm?

Many Thanks!

PS: Best I can do below with posting calculator results. Looks like the biggest difference is for the rear.
