wheel opportunity, will they fit?

Front- 18 x 8 +47 with 225/40

Rear- 18 x 9 +25 with 255/35

I am willing and capable of rolling the fenders, stock suspension, no plans to lower it.....will these work?

The rears would need a ton of work to get them to fit. And the fronts are probably gonna need a 2 mm spacer. You might be able to get away with no spacer, but its gonna be close to that strut.

The guy offering them to me has them on a 328 and all he needed to do is roll fenders, he only gets a slight rub on big dips in the road. So u think I would need to do more than just roll the fenders to get those rears to fit?

Its my opinion that ARC-8s rear wheels are setup ideally for the 1 series. Thats a 18x9.5, +62 wheel. Your wheel will stick out 0.9" further than the ARC-8s will. That means you'd roughly have to pull your fenders between .75-1.0" to clear the tires.

Obviously this is rough rough math and its all tire dependent, but 0.9" is ALOT! I bet the wheel would hit the fender as is without the tire mounted.
