This will work and is nearly identical to what I had for five winter seasons. Just a couple of more points to make sure you are OK:
- 245/45/18 is the proper size for the F10. As I said, 245/50/18 you propose will work, and will fill the wheel arches a little more since the overall diameter of the tire is about one inch more than a 245/45/18. I have a picture somewhere of what these wheels / tires looked like on my F10, and will post if I can find it.
- A 245 size tire (this is the width of the tread, just in case you did not know) is a little wide for a 8" wide wheel, but can work. The tires will bulge a bit. If you wanted a more streamlined fit, then you should go with 8.5" wide wheel, still keeping the 32mm offset.

Cheers.

Edit: I found a couple of pics to show you the size of the 245/50/18 tires.
