CSL Reps - confused

Easily confused, and have spent far too long looking at that willtheyfit website, that I'm more confused.....

Have been offered a set of 19" CSL reps.
Details are
Front - 8.5x19, ET35
Rear - 9.5x19, ET27

Car, E86 Coupe, is currently on Eibach Pro springs.
Trying to look at different tyre widths/profles, but really struggling to know if these wheels will work.

thoughts?
 
Although the fronts might just work on a 3.0Si I don't think the rears would.

Standard staggered 18s on a 3.0Si are 8 x 18 ET47 front and 8.5 x 18 ET50 rear. So even before factoring in the wider rims the fronts would sit 12mm further out and the rears 23mm.

They might fit an M as they have very different offsets on the rear.

Thanks. The more I have read the more I can tell that ET27 seem to be the M wheel offset. Whilst 99% agree that they would stick out too far, I did see one Facebook picture claiming different.
thanks
 
Standard M rears are 9 x 18 ET30 so CSL 9.5 x 19 ET27s do fit, but I can't see that working on a 3.0Si.

But CSL Reps come in all sorts of sizes and offsets. When I was thinking of getting away from run-flats on my 3.0Si I bought a set of 18" Reps that were 8J ET40 all round, but I didn't get around to trying them before I bought my M so I sold them on here.
