T6.1 - rims for winter tyres

Hello,
I currently have a T6.1 Edition with 8x18 ET50 wheels fitted with 255/45 R18 103H summer tires.
I’ve found some wheels sized 8.5x18 ET45 mounted with winter tires in 255/45 R18 103 (so the same size as the summer tires).
Given the slightly greater width and the more outward offset, do you think these will fit on my T6.1?
Thanks for your help
Ps : i read the post on tyres but could not find any answer…
 
I should imagine that they should fit. Also if you look for a tyre comparison site on line some will give a very good pictorial idea of what the physical differences might be between wheel or tyre seizes and offsets. I have 255/55R18 on 18/8.5 rims forget the offset I printed it some where.
 
Very helpful

Ok it's the opposite. 5mm further into the arch.
That's not right either. there is 11mm difference in POKE. So one wheel is 11mm further out than the other. Maybe don't post 'facts' when you clearly don't understand the question. Hope that's a bit helpful.
 
Very helpful. (You didn't like it when someone said that to you.) By the way you are WRONG again.

OK to stop you making an even bigger fool of yourself than you already have (as you couldn't even spot the figures in post #5 let me point it out. As you can see below I have put the OP wheel figures in the pic below. The poke for his existing wheel is 52mm. The poke for the wheel he was asking about is 63mm (line 3 in the results). Let me help you with the maths.
63mm - 52mm = 11mm.
This means. in case you are still struggling that the wheel the OP was asking about has a greater poke of 11mm than his wheels.

If you need any more help understanding this please ask.

It's all wrong 🤣🤣

The wheels are the wrong PCD so no matter what offset, poke, hokey cokey or whatever else... they aren't going to fit.
