Another Will it Fit...
I have a E92 lowered to about HR Sport specs. I have 18x8.5 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET42 wheels. I'm using a 12mm spacer in the rear now, but can use any other spacer to make the right tire fit.
I am looking to run the widest tires without running problems with rubbing. Can I run 285/35/18 rear and what for the front? If not, what's the widest I can go?

18x8.5 ET35 with a 235/40/18 in the front and 18x9.5 ET42 with a 265/35/18 is the recommended setup. You may be able to fit the 275/35/18 tire depending on the exact size spacers your going to put on the wheel. Also, it's nothing that a simple fender roll can't fix in terms to get more clearance.

With the following widths, I would recommend running a 235/40/18 front and a 265/35/18 or a 275/35/18 rear. Though 285's can work on a 9.5" wheel, it is a bit wide and will balloon the side walls. A 10" wide wheel would work better for a 285 tire.

Went ahead and got 285/35/18 and going to play around with spacers/camber to see how it works out.

Never got a chance to try the set up.
Sold my 18s but I got the tires if anyone's interested.
