E70 winter set up to F15

Please don't crucify me nor castrate me with this question.
This topic might have been asked and discussed numerous times in this forum but I can't seem to find the definitive answer/s I need.
I found this on the local craigslist and would like to buy it for my winter set-up.

It's 255/55/18 tires.
Style 209
8.5 X 18
ET 46

Will this fit my 2018 XDrive X35d M Sport Package?
It currently has a staggered 20" set up.

Thank you so much.

It will fit but just barely, I test fitted the fronts and there little clearance between the caliper and spoke < 1in and some of the suspension component and the dust shield ( around 1/2 in), never test fit the rear. However it will not work if you have m-sport brakes, X5 50i or bigger rotor. Better option is to get the 19in wheels.

Update I’ll post some pics that i had test fit later

Hi!
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have the M Sport Package so does that mean I have the M-sport brakes?
Naturally, right?
Bummer, I say.
Time to look again...

No, M-Sport Package refers only to the exterior looks.
And, btw, 1 inch clearance is huge.

So it means I can go ahead with the purchase?
I will be so happy- a whole set of winters with 7/32 tread on an oem wheels for cad$450 plus new tpms for maybe +/-cad$150 is a really good deal, I say.

i have the exact same rims and size tires, works well on my 35i. u also do not need TPMS sensors as canadian spec BMW uses ABS sensors to sense tire rotation difference vs US spec BMW which actually reads the tire pressure.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
So even better savings for me.
Seller is holding the set for me for a couple of days until I confirm the fitment.
I will go ahead and buy it then.
Thank you.

Hello forum members!
One last question please?

Will I need a spacer for this set-up?

I currently have the oem 20" staggered set-up on my summers.
Thanks!
