best offsets for e90 LCI

I need new wheels and rims.. and i was wondering what the best offsets are for my e90 without having to roll the fenders. I will be getting 18's and was also wondering if you guys know of any affordable but decent tires. thanks.

would 8.5 front and 9.5 rears rub?

Best is a relative term. With 18s 8.5 and 9.5 width shouldn't rub. You'd probably want to run 225 or 235 width tire in front and 265 width tire in back

also the offset for the 8.5 is 30 while the 9.5 is 36.

would any of these cause a problem?

Personally a 235 40 18 and 265 35 18 would be what I'd go for. More of the same circumference as apposed to the 255. The 255 is still fine tho.
