ET20/9.5J rubs like a b*tch on my e92 with a 255/35 or a 265/30 tyre. You've got 3mm more clearance, which may just be enough coupled with SE suspension, but it's really close - as it looked from the pics.

Ultimately the biggest clue will show on your dash. I'd get 2 mates in the back and/or some heavy stuff in the boot, find a bumpy roundabout and give it some pedal round it. If the DSC warning light starts yelling then you're rubbing, in which case I'd be tempted to wash my hands of them (coming from someone who's run plenty of mods on cars in the past).

Ultimately the one time you need your car to be settled is mid-corner at speed - if the tyre rubs and unsettles the car on a quick wet corner when you're not ready for it then it could get messy.. Might be over-cautious, harder to offer an opinion when I can't see it for myself, but I wouldn't want to see anything happen when it's so easy to get wheels the right size.
