Unhappy 245/35/18 and 275/35/18 on e92? (H&R sport springs, no rolling)

so i apologize if this has been asked before but obviously stance/tire fitment is very "judgmental" and a bit of a grey area (in the way of rubbing considering drop, camber, etc). BUT I have heard different opinions on whether this track set up will work so I'd like to throw it out there (also I don't want to roll my fenders):

335is e92 (likely soon to have H&R sport springs) with

Front: 18x8.5 ET35
245/35/18 ???

Rear: 18x9.5 ET22 (or 28)
275/35/18 ???

Will they rub/clear? If not I'll have to only do 235/35/18 and 265/35/18 which would be sad

so i went ahead with what I thought would work per my research and what was available for PSS, 265/35/18 rear and 245/35/18 front.

The front cleared easily without any rubbing, the rears however were rubbing on every bump/dip in the road and a bit of rolling probably would have helped but I went down to 255 because I had a track event that weekend and didn't have time to get them rolled. The 255's will rub on an extreme dip but that's the only case and they tracked without any problems.

Also just FYI my wheel set up is Front: 18x8.5 ET35, Rear: 18x9.5 ET28. I think a little more offset (such as 30) in the rear also would have helped.
