E90/F10 wheel compatability help needed

Hi Folks, I currently have an 06 E90, which has a staggered setup with Miro CSL Reps. The Miro's served me well for several years, but are too bent from the NJ potholes to use anymore. I want to replace them, but I expect to be selling the car and getting an F10 within the next year. Now, the tires are brand new, so I want to stick to the same diameter and width, but I'm concerned about offset...
What I have now is:
F: 19x8.5 ET35 5x120 235/35R19
R: 19x9.5 ET33 5x120 265/30R19

Now I'd like to buy the wheels in the optimal ofset for the F10, and use them on the E90 for now, with spacers if needed, but I'm not a wheel pro in the least, and don't know what to do. Is there anyone who can help me? I'm looking at some ET35/40 wheels, but not sure if that'd be the best for the F10 nor if it'd fit the E90. With Ebay's wheel and tire sale going on, I wanna order soon.

Thanks so much for any help!
-Rob

First of all, you'll need to change the tires, the f10 needs larger tires.
F10 uses approx ET30 in the front and approx ET40 in the rear depending on width.

Why does it need bigger tires? You mean height? The width should be the same as I'd be using the same 8.5/9.5 width.

Rolling diameter specs are different on an F10.

Both width and height are bigger for the f10 compared to e90. OEM 19" size for the e90 is 225/35/19 and 255/30/19, while it's 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 for the f10.
