Are E90 sedan wheels the same size/offset as the E92 coupe?

Sorry for the noob question but I searched and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I came from an Infiniti background so on the G35 coupe & sedans, even though the wheels were the same look/pattern, the width was slightly different and the offsets were completely different.

For the E90 sedan wheels and the E92 coupe wheels (let's say for example, the 162 style wheels) that I see them on both the E90 335i and the E92 335i, is BMW using the same wheel size & offset on both the E9x cars?

I read that the sedans have more rear inner fender space for a wider (or lower offset) aftermarket wheel, but I just wanted to verify the above question before I start looking for some OEM wheels for my coupe and find out later that the sedan wheels have too high of an offset. Thanks.

You got it. The 18" OEM wheels for the 3 series have the same offset. Both the 162 and 189 (18" on coupe) have 34 offset in the front and 37 in the rear.

Guys, follow-up question if you don't mind.
Have you heard of any issues putting 18" OEM 162's on an E90 328xi. I've been told by a dealer that due to the fact it's an xi they don't recommend any 18's.
Yet when I plug in the 18" wheel details and my current wheel size details (above) and calc... there doesn't seem to be a problem. I've also chatted with one other guy who has done it and not had any issues.
I'm looking for additional info from others. Can you offer any wisdom?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it's fine if you put the 162's on your Xi. You'll have no problems.
