Purchasing new rims, need offset advise. 18x8 and 18x9.5 with 40mm offset

I am going to be buying new summer rims for my 135 in the next couple months. The style of rim that I am looking at says the fitment for a 135 should be 18x8 et40 and 18x9.5 et40.

Will these sit pretty flush? Or will I need spacers for the rear?

Thanks for the help!

Wont fit without work. The rears will rub and need to be at least ET45 at that width since you will be putting on 255/35/18.

I was originally going to use the stock size rubber since they are almost brand new. Let me see if there are any other options in the style I want. Thanks for the help.

You could use stock 245/35/18, it will be a tiny little bit of a stretch on a 9.5 inch wheel but would work. But even with that ET40 might be cutting it close.

Yeah I knew I might have to stretch a but. Looks like I will be going with my original choice http://www.pyspeed.com/VMR-BMW-VB3-C...bmw-vb3-18.htm

I wanted a BBS F1 rep in 18" but it doesn't look like there are any options currently.

I have 18x9.5 ET 42 in the rear and I am lowered on coilovers all the way down. With stock tire setup there is no rubbing with one passenger in the car. With somebody on the back seat I only rub on major humps on the highway. Here is a pic of my rear fitment:
