Hi, just come across a local deal on a set of OEM E46 M3 rims 18", thinking of getting these for my winter set up. The specs are as follows:

1) 18 x 8 Offset = ET47 front. Tires - 235/40/18
2) 18 x 9 Offset = ET26 rear. Tires - 255/40/18

My question is, is this set up going to work on my Pre-LCI E90 335xi? I am wondering if the front offset +47 is too sunk in it might rub the inner? Should I put say 10mm spacers in the front?

Thanks

Maybe 12mm, that will bring the 47mm to 35mm. and go with 265/35/18 for proper xi diameter balance.

I had those on my E91 and used a 15mm spacer in the front which made it sit flush. Now I have a square 18x9 setup around (4 rears) without spacers. Looks much better..
