E92 M3 18's (260's) on 09 LCI E90?

Would these clear the sedan? I read that for the 335 E92 you'd need to run a size smaller tires or do fender work, is that the same case for the sedans? I'm trying to get them with tires and keep them that way since buying new tires would defeat the entire purpose of me buying these wheels w/ tires in the first place.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

No, I can't see how that can work on a LCI e90.

They won't fit your car due to its widened track.
Our VT908 (260M replica) 18x8.5 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET42 will fit your car quite nicely. You can safely run 275 rear tires without rubbing.

Ewwww +42. That will not look aggressive at all. If I were you'd I'd get the M3 wheels, sell the tires that come with them, buy the correct size tires and just roll your rear fenders. It will give you the look you want and be OEM wheels.
