Checklist for possible wheels

I have an 11 335d.

I'm currently looking to go *a bit* more aggressive than the recommended specs for 8.5 +35 front and 9.5 +35 in the back. Car is currently on stock suspension and will receive a minor drop at most (an inch) IF it comes to it.

I recently found a set of wheels with the following specs:

Rear: 18x8.5 et 20
Front: 18x10 et25

Roughly what would I need to order/do to get this to fit? I recently purchased a fender roller in anticipation. I haven't bought the wheels yet but they are at an amazing price.

The front will fit if you run a 235 or smaller. 245 might fit. Rear will be very tough on an LCI, gonna need a roll and pull at least.

How aggressive do you think? Do you think it would require a pull on a stock suspension?

Rear? I can't comment, I don't know my rear LCI fitment as well as front. I'm pre-lci which is different in the rear.

I basically just attempted this with the 219M wheels 18x9.5 et ~23

Based on what I saw on my car, it's not a good idea unless you are looking to compromise drive-ability.
