Why would you run square tires on staggered wheels? You could get away with 8.5 ET37 square all around.

This is a set somebody has for sale, wondering if it would fit my car, without modifying my suspension or cutting away anything

Yes it will fit, very likely without mods or rubbing especially if you’re on stock suspension.

For reference, I’m running 8J ET25 fronts and 9J ET38 rears with minor rear roll and slight rubbing on the front.

I wish i could tell you my wheel sizes but they rub. I went to aggressive to get the concave. I also have an e88. Just keep in mind that the verts are heavier in the rear and they rub a lot easier. Stock suspension was crap. I upgraded to BC Coilovers and they rub a lot less but im setup for track use so my stiffness is maxed out and still rub. Ill try and get you my sizes but unfortunately it rubs although it looks good.
