Apex EC-7 18x10” Setup help

Currently I am the owner of a manual 135i with low boost turbos. As a result I am upgrading to Frankenturbo’s TD03 setup and will soon be making 500 hp. So it’s time for new wheels. I’m currently on stock rims with a 235/55 setup, I looked into Apex and liked the EC-7 (specs, price, style.) But I need some help getting wheel and tire size correct.

I want to be able to put power down while not having to modify my fenders/suspension very much. I already have a differential brace making the rear slightly stiffer.

I read on Evolution Racewerks at one point that they run 18x10 in the rear with
285/30/18s. Maybe I don’t want to be that aggressive in the rear as a 235/285 is quiet the stagger but I don’t know with the 1 when it comes to wheels/tires.

To summarize what offset is it possible to run Apex EC-7 wheels
Front: 18x8.5” 235/35/18 (maybe 245) MPS4S Rear: 18x10” 285/30/18 MPSPS2

Or am I asking too much from the stock body?
