Probably not since those numbers are really similar to the BMW oe staggered wheel set-up...but a quick 2-4 minutes inputting your data into a wheel/tire calculator (compare the old front axle to the new axle...then do the same for the old rear & new rear set-up) at this site (or any other wheel/tire calculator site...and you'll see how much "poke" or "inset" the new set-up will have vs the old set-up:

BTW...what is the wheel bolt pattern? The f06/f12/f13 six series has a
5x120mm wheel bolt pattern...if you're going to use a wheel with a different wheel bolt pattern, you may need to use some type of adapter...so its dimensions will also need to be added to your calculation.
