The wheel will fit. But the tires (45 series) will not work as the speedo deviates by almost 7%. The correct tire size for the 17" is 225/55/17.

The offset for the wheel is fine. it will have 5mm more clearance on the strut but due to a smaller wheel, the wheel will be moved inner from the fender by 7mm.

Therefore, you need to inform the potential buyer of the incorrect tires.

And it would never fit a 550i cause of big brakes.
