Anyone installed M3 wheels on a 1 series?

Hi guys,
I am thinking about getting the M3 style 219 in gunmetal for my 128i but need to be sure they will fit and be flush with fender without modifications.
The specs are:
Front: 18 x 8.5 et29 245-40-18
Rear: 18 x 9.5 et23 265-40-18

I've been reading that with this setup the wheels will rub and need to do modifications at the back.
I was also adviced to use 35mm instead of 40mm tires in order for them to fit and avoid rubbing.
Another advice is to use the front size at the rear as well, meaning I would need to get 4 fronts.

Anyone done this or tested, any comments and advice are appreciated.
