Fit or Hit? 18x9 ET 35 on the front of an E90 Sport

I'm looking over options for new wheels for my E90 ZSP, and I was wondering if 18x9 ET 35 will fit the front without issues (rubbing, strut impact, etc.) I'm on the stock sport suspension with no real plans to lower it.

From the calculator above, it seems that it probably won't work. From the stock 162s, the 18x9 ET 35 decreases strut clearance by 14mm and extends the outer edge by 12mm. I don't want to run a spacer either.

I'd like to run a 245 tire up front too, looking at the Goodyear F1 GS-D3s.

Anyway, on the off-chance that someone has tried this setup on an E90, I thought I'd ask....
