Smile 18x8 best tire fitment?

What's up guys, I'm new to this forum but not to the bmw scene. I'm attempting to do a daily/track set up and I need some suggestion from you guys.

18x8 +42 offset all around
245/35R18 all around
continental extremecontact dws 06 is the tires I want to go with for the moment. Any rubbing issues?

Planning on rolling front fenders slightly more, rears are already rolled aggressive because my current set up is
19x9.5 +45(F) 19x10.5 +50 (R)
225/40R19 275/35R19

Car is also lowered on h&r sport springs, no camber plates. Don't remember my alignment specs

You are probably going to need some camber plates for the front. The rear will be close. I guess the rear might fit if you can run generous rear camber. The low springs don't help though.

That's about right. Front will be close without camber and rear might need a fender roll and/or trim.

Source: I previously ran ET40 square setup, which is pretty close to ET42 (2mm worse).
