ET35 is going to be tight as hell so just research here first and talk to people who've done the same to find out the extent of the mods needed BUT, it'll be so flush to the arch you'll get that stanced look for sure.
The E8x and F2x suffer the same silly issue when it comes to wheels; small body over large frame so it's always tight when upsizing the wheels, hence the underwhelming looks of stock wheels.
ET50 at the rear is a pretty perfect but with a 255 tyre you will probably still scrub a little. You could add a 5mm spacer at the rear and downsize to a 245 tyre for a bit of stance and stretch.
I wouldn't want to stick ET35 on the rear if the rim is 9.5" wide. Yes ET35 can be made to fit on the front but that's only with 8" or 8.5" rims, don't forget you're adding another 1-1.5" at the back.

Sorry it wasnt me who said that. It was (R99)
Ive done my reserch on the forum looking in the Sicky Thred- OFFICIAL Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread - What has already been done to 1ers.
Seen that a few guys are running 18 x 8.5 ET35, so im guessing its doable
So I will be pulling the trigger on these wheels
Front- 18 x 8.5 et35, tyre size 215-225/40/18
Rear- 18 x 9 et50, tyre size 245-255/35/18
Thanks for your help Cozy
