Question Q's on Wheel and Tire Sizes - 335xi Sport

I have a 335xi with Sport package and stock 17" wheels.


I've ordered H&R Sport Springs with a 1.3 drop in the front and 1.2 in the rear and some Koni FSD Shocks.

I want to add these Forgestar F14 18" Wheels:

But I'm unsure of a couple needed specs for ordering.
Would anyone help clarify these for me?

These will fit my current bolt pattern as long as I get the needed "Cone Seat Lug Nuts", right?

Front Wheel Size
From what I've read this seems like it should be 18x8.5?

Rear Wheel Size
Same? What can I go up to in order to achieve a wider rear wheel without rubbing or causing issues? 18x9 or 9.5? Are spacers needed to have a wider rear wheel look decent? Or, should I stick with all wheels being equal for best performance/safety?

What size tire can I use without rubbing?
235/40/18?

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

18x8.5 et35 all four. 255/35 tires.

That's what I would do.

I do not believe that there are any Koni FSD dampers for Xdrive

Looks like I missed the (excld) text in the item description excluding xi.
Thanks for the heads up! Any alternative suggestions?

Depends on budget,
Personnally I have Bilstein sport shocks and Eibach springs
It's the best investment I made on this car , ride is miles better then stock and I actually don't cringe when I see a hole in the street anymore

I went ahead and ordered KW Coilovers V1, which I'm hoping are decent.
