9.5" Front and Back?

Ive started a thread about tires sizes last week but have a different question so decided to start new thread as its kinda a different. I have e92 335i. H&R Sport springs. The wheels I want are the Groundforce gf06 because i love the concave. Except the front 8.5 rim does not have the concave and doesn't look good in my opinion. Could I do 9.5 both front and back and either 225/35 or 235/35 up front? I would use a 265/35 (225/30 if necessary) in the rear with offsets of at least +30 maybe +25.. Anyone done this before and can share their opinion? I found a thread of a e90x with a similar setup but much more aggressive offset and he mentioned it was fine but not the same application. He also had VMR V701's. Any help is appreciated! I kind of like those in matte black as well. Thanks in advance.

Yes it can work. 9.5 et30-33 will fit easily with a 235/35/19, most likely even 245/35/19. If you are on coilovers you might need around et27-30 to clear the strut.

Thanks! Id rather have the 245 up front to have less of a stretch to be honest. Anyone running this setup with a pic or comments?

Take my set up, it's for sale, it's what you want in specs, I ran 235 in the front, I could easily run 245 instead.
