Wheel fitment help on e90 pre lci!

Hey guys so I'm looking to get new rims and was just wondering if the following would fit on my car / what work would need to be done if possible. Also how would they look? any stretch or poke ? The rim specs are:

Front : 18x9.5 +20 5x120 or 18x9.5 +34 5x120 which should I go with? (Putting a 235/40/18 tire on)

Rear : 18x10.5 +22 5x120 (putting a 255/35/18 tire on)

My car is lowerd on H&R sport springs.


Thanks ,
Josh

If you want use 9.5 et20 you need 225/40/18 tyre and some camber to front. The 18x9.5 et34 with 235/40/18 will fit without any modifications. It's very close to struts inside. Something like 3mm. If you ever going to get coilovers, then you might need 5mm spacer. It will work with it also. Both of the front wheels will poke out little bit. Et20 more clearly off course.

Rear will need fender roll and maybe some camber. Both of the tyres are slightly stretched, but rear is more compared to front.

I have had 18x9.5 et35 with 235/40/18 at front. H&R lowering springs. No modifications. Here is picture of those

These are with same setup, but 5mm spacer at front so 18x9.5 et30.

These are 18x9.5 et22 with 225/40/18 front. Around -1 degree camber and Bc racing coilovers.

Rear is 18x10.5 et15 with 255/35/18 fenders rolled, maxed stock camber around -3. Rubbing when cornering fast and bigger bumps. Next week we will do something to that rubbing, tho.
