Will Type 162 offset wheels fit on 2003 E46 325i Sport Wagon?

I current have a E46 325i Sport Wagon with Stock:
Style 96
8 x 17 ET 47 225/45 R17W

I would like to switch to Type 162 (for E90 330i Sport Package):
Front: 18x8 ET34 225/40 R18
Rear: 18x8.5 ET37 255/35 R18

I tried the calculator but not sure how its going to fit in real world application. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks so much.

They're reps but they have the same offset....

They will fit an E46, but be aware that they will protrude about 10mm out of the fenders. As far as I've heard there is no issues with rubbing, however there will be issues with rocks and debris kicking on the side of the car.
