For running a 17x8.5 set-up on a 128i, would one be concerned with the additional sidewall that you would see from a 17" versus 18"

For example, a properly sized tire would be 255/40/17 for front tires. Even with + -3* camber would you have trouble with rubbing under compression and high G loads.

The goal for an STX car (for me) would be to squeeze as much tire and wheel up front as possible.

Would there be a way to run a square set-up with a big spacer in the rear to attempt to run 255 squared and rotate tires.

Would to compromise on rear grip or try and utilize as much space as possible and go 265 or 275 rear?
