Will this fit an e90 LCI

Hey everyone...im looking at purchasing a set of VMR VB3 wheels. The spects are as follows: 8x8.5 +35F / 18x9.5 +22R My question now is whether or not these wheels will fit a e90 LCI w/ sport suspension w/o having to roll or shave the fender. I plan on using my stock runflat tires as i have bought the tire warranty and still have about 2yrs left on them. I do plan on possibly lowering the car on H&R Cup Kit down the line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Front will be easy, rear might be tighter, you will be running what width of tires? 235?

I am running 18X9.5 +23 with 255/35 (rear) and the tire rubs the rear fender felt slightly sometimtes. I had a mild fender roll at LTMW. You might need to run 245 rear to be safe.

Fronts should be fine...worried about the offset in the rear.

I have 219M wheels at +23 and I get a slight rub on occasion and I have a pre-lci, which has more rear wheel well than lci.

The rears are more aggressive than I would recommend. ET33 would be a better more aggressive setup that would require less work to fit.
