More info.
Everything else being equal, the 9-1/2" wide wheel is two inches wider than the 7-1/2", so the would stick farther out (and in) on each side by an inch. Adding the 10 mm shallower ET, the rear rim would stick out by 1.4".
Seems like a lot to me... I don't think my E61's rear wheel wells would clear such an arrangement during suspension compression.
You might want to experiment with your existing wheel and 35mm spacers to see how it might work.
HTH,

Thanks for reply.
Wheels fits perfectly fine, the only thing my oem hub caps from oem 17? wheels don?t fit the new wheels (are they different diameters?), can I buy the smaller hub caps somewhere?, and it does looks like the front needs to be lowered.

Original BMW and after-market wheels often have different center cap diameters and therefore the center caps are not interchangeable. Replacements are sold on-line in the usual places but quality is all over the place.
I suggest you measure the hole diameter and post the wheel mfg / style number in a WTB Center Cap post in the classified section of this forum and you may get some quick solutions to your need.
Last month I got a great deal on CF caps from another forum member! https://5series.net/forums/topic/123...1#entry1447391
