What size spacers are required for these wheels on an E61 (ix wagon)? If staggered isn't an option, I'm fine with going 18x8.5 all around.
These look great on an E9x 3-series wagon. Are there any images on an E61?

They are 2 diff. things just similar... The 1st 2 p/n are OEM with wrong lower offset ... the Vortex Tuning link you've provided are replica and based on their spec they are high offset # (ET35 & ET42) which will fit ...
And the end result of adding spacer will reduce the offset number even lower in which push the wheel more outward.

And yes, 18" will fitt fine, and will give you a comfortable ride, but I meant that 18" LOOKS way to small (IMO)
I would do a search for a least some 19"s..but als always...It is you car, so do what you like best!!

If you like the looks of them, then...DO IT!! 
It's your car and you are the one driving and paying for it, so do it your way and don't worry about what ANYONE else thinks!!
