Widebody Wheel Fitment

I am currently converting my 2009 135i to widebody spec. I will be using the Ohlins R&T coilovers with swift springs and Vorshlag camber plate. The rest of the suspension components are currently stock.

Having a difficult time finding wheels with the offsets I need for fitment without running wheel spacers. It seems most using the Clinched kit use APEX wheels, 10" et25 in the front and 11" et25 in the rear. This nets about 2.25" of increased poke front and rear, which isn't quite enough. It also increases the inset by .3" front and .2" rear. I know there are some clearance issues with the Ohlins on stock offsets, so the Apex wouldn't work without spacers.

Wondering if anyone has experience or suggestions. The car will see mostly street with some track use.
