Will putting rear style 161 wheels in front cause rub?

I'm thinking about buying a rear pair of style 161 wheels to put at the front of the car (E90) so i can run a square setup with 255 width tires. my car is stock with sport suspension.

will this rub during full lock parking lot maneuvers or under heavy load when cornering aggressively?

Thanks,
Nick

I have style 161 wheels on the front of my 335i with sport package. No issues that I have seen. It is a tight fit, but it works.
