Any F34 running on 310M wheels from X3/X4?

Hi everyone. I'm a new '15 F34 owner and I am looking at using my stock 400M wheels / tires for winter. I'm overall pretty happy with the GT, but the square wheel setup is not very sporty.

I likely won't do anything with wheels until next spring. I've been browsing lots of forum threads, sites, etc. looking at everyone's F34 setups. I really like a lot of what I see.

Though I live in Michigan and keeping to 18" diameter would be ideal, more importantly I want to stick with a setup that maximizes rear tire width (purely aesthetic) and with an offset that would work with everyday camber at stock or slightly lowered ride height. I say purely aesthetic b/c until I run out of warranty and add power, or start running laps, the purpose will be to look sportier and lower my mpg.

So, in browsing around, I found an interesting OE offering that 1 site suggested might fit but I've seen no pictures:

BMW 310M 20" wheels (for the X3/X4)
Front wheels: 20x8.5" ET38 part #: BMW 36116787582
Rear wheels: 20x10" ET51 part #: BMW 36116787583

Tires:
On an X3 I've seen:
Front: 245/40R20 99Y XL +.7" Diam, +2.6%
Rear: 275/35R20 102Y XL +.8" Diam, +3.0%
This was an xdrive, so I assume ok with all abs/stability systems?

I was thinking to keep closer to stock diameter:
Front: 245/35 -.1" or -.4%
Rear: 285/30 -.2" or -.7%

20" wheels, even in summer, scare me a bit on Michigan roads. But, these wheels seem to be available and they are interesting to me.

I like the ET51 offset in the rear. I think they should tuck well. Other 10" rims with lower offset seem to be very close to the lip at ride height anyway, and if too far inboard, a spacer could be utilized.

If anyone has any information or experience or pictures of this setup I'd like to see them.

Thanks,

PJ Gross

Thanks for the response. So the taller tire set or my slightly smaller tire set should work, just preference in filling out the wheel well a bit different at stock height.

Would like to know if anyone has fit the 310M wheelset up on an F34, though. The offset is quite a bit more in the rear than other 10" wheels being run. I've seen ET 40 and ET 45s. But, with 275s they can run slightly proud of the body, a look I'm not looking to go. With an ET 51 on a 10", I didn't know if there were any issues on the inboard side, though there seems to be a lot of room in there.
