E91 328xi wheel fitment question

Hey 3ers, I need some help regarding fitment on my '07 328xi E91 Wagon. I have searched and can't find my answer; long time forum member as I own an e90 M3 and formally owned an e46 M3.

Vehicle specs: 2007 328XI E91 Wagon (pre LCI)

Wheel specs: Style 124 from a RWD e60
- Front: 18 x 8, ET 20
- Rear: 18 x 9, ET 32

Tire size recommendations are welcome too.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to contributing to the forum!

Can anyone tell me if the staggered wheels will damage the x drive mechanics? Do I need to absolutely run a square setup?

Keep the rolling diameters the same and you will not have any issues. Personally go with a square 8.5” set and be done. That’s the route I’m going with my latest aquistion.

Thank you. Coming from RWD, I have searched and found conflicting statements on this forum regarding this. I appreciate the response.
