The only thing that affects ride height is your springs. However unless you're thinking of something really extreme in the wheels dept., you should be able to accommodate most wheels with stock suspension provided you choose the correct offset. You may need to have the rear wheel arches rolled, however.
Out of interest, most people fitting larger wheels feel the need to lower the car, not raise it, because the larger wheels make the car look like it's on stilts...

So you want to fit m3 wheels with the wrong offsets to the rear of your car. What body is it e90? What tire sizes frint and rear? You don't want to raise it. You can probably get away with some camber, rolling the fenders, or stretching them.

Oem I think is 19x9.5 et 25 rear. With a 265 on them you'll need a fender roll and be fine depending on the body style and year. I had the same wheel size but et35 with 275/30-19 on my e93 2008 no rub and it was lower than sport with oem camber, no roll or stretch. With a 265 you'd only be sticking out 5mm more. I had a few mm of room. A 255 would be same as mine and no issues at all.
