No
too high
look at 35 rear 31 front for staggered or 35 all around.On an 8 inch rim
8.5inch rim you probably need to drop below 30et
Others will have suggestions but a 47 is asking for rubbing fenders even before you decide to drop it down low.

47's would mean he'd have to get spacers to fill the wheel well with out rubbing on the suspension or inner tub..
OP, the higher the number on the ET, the further inset the wheel will mount. The lower the ET, the further it sticks out from the hub towards the fender/quarter panel. (usually offers bigger lips but at times, depending on offset (ET), requires narrower tires to give the stretch appeal for proper fitment with a nice drop.)

correct
but I was taking into consideration the op 8.5 rim width mentioned.
might have issues both suspension and fender
an inch wider over oem would move the rim in towards the suspension 12.7mm and out towards the fender 12.7mm
some combos from the AMG chart

Thank you all!! You all saved me $500 or more!!!
I ended up buying 18X8 et31 front and 18X9 et30 rear monoblock off ebay for $1200.
The price is a bit on the high side I guess, considering almost brand new BBS RGR 19 I got for e46m3 cost me about $1050.

YUP
but even more better.

multiple tire dia and profile calculators also a handy offset calculator that allows you to punch in the known and compare it to the proposed lost or gained suspension clearance/fender issues
In the end though measure twice install once.
I hope for $1200 they have brand new tires (of the right size)

No, sadly tires are not included in that price but the wheels look new. I think I'm gonna get some PS2s on the wheel if I can find some good deals on them.
