128i wheels on a 230i?

Hi folks,

I'm trading my 2010 128i for a 2017 230i. The 230i has 19" wheels on it which I don't want. The dealership (not BMW) will swap my wheels out for me. I want to make sure they will be a good fit on the 230i.
My wheels are listed in the vin readout as Alloy Star Spoke 262. They are staggered 17" wheels. It seems like they should fit fine, but I noticed that BMW doesn't offer a staggered set of 17s for the 230i on their web site (that I could find).
Will they fit?

Thanks, and Cheers!
Craig

This might help: the current tires are 205/50R 17 front and 225/45R 17 rear.

Thanks,
Craig

They should fit the 230i if it doesn’t have the upgraded ///M brakes as the ET47 on the 7x17 front and 7.5x17 rear wheels will work. If it does have the ///M brakes, a few 17” wheels do fit. It is best for the dealer to do a test fitting to confirm.

Thanks aerobod! The 230i I'm buying doesn't have the M brakes. Good news!
Cheers!
