Stock tires, can I run these rims?

225/40 fronts, 255/35 rears. I have an lci e90.

Looking at Beyern Aviatics, and it seems I'm in a bit of a pickle possibly. I see they have 18x9.5 et35, that's good for the rear right? Now the front... they have 18x8.5 in et30 and et40... which one do I want...? I think et30 is the way to go?

(stock is 8et34 and 8.5et37)

I have a chance to pick up the same size wheels from a buddy (different wheel... same size).
was thinking about going 235/40-18 on the front and 265/35-18 on the rear, (figure a little more meat and a little more sidewall. it is a VERY negligible difference from what I have found from the calculation sites)

I was also entertaining getting 5mm spacers for front and rear.
The math seems to work, but what does everyone think?

oh... pre-lci e92 lowered on H&R sports and Konis.

with the spacers too?
or would that width and size tire sit nice on it's own?
(If I decide to do this, I am coming off VMR 710's in 19x9, 19x10, with 245/275, and that just looks so nice!)

Fronts you will be fine, rears may rub slightly on big bumps but probably not.

Your setup will be
18x8.5 et30
18x9.5 et 35

Correct? That's what I understand from what you've said.
