I want these M850i wheels

So I saw the wheels on a new M850ix today—728M’s. I want to put a set on my M550ix. I apologize if this has previously been addressed in this forum (I’m inept at searching forums), but would like to know if it’s possible to replace my stock wheels with these, and if anyone has done so. Their size (8x20 and 9x20) are the same as my current wheels, but have different offsets: current wheels ET:30 (f) and ET:44 (r); 728M’s ET:26 (f) and ET:41 (r). The differences (4mm (f) and 3mm (r)) appear to be manageable. I’ve also been told that the hub sizes are compatible, although I could get new hub assemblies, if necessary. So (i) am I wrong in thinking this could be done, and (ii) if anyone has tried this, how did it turn out? Thank you, in advance.

So, finally got around to taking a picture. I’d highly recommend these wheels, but not as an upgrade for 668M—unless you’re in love with them. They do show off your brakes.

They look great. Way better than 668m IMHO.
Enjoy it

Looks Awesome. I'm shooting for the 863M, a bit more aggressive. but it looks the same imo
