Can anyone tell me if a rear 19x9.5 wheel with a +18 offset would be too aggresive for a pre-LCI E90 on OEM sports suspension?

I'm thinking about buying a set of wheels off an 05 M3 and according to my search on this site and the offset calculator, I know the fronts (19x9, +38 offset) will fit, but I'm not sure whether the back would stick out too much.

Any help or pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think they'll stick out of the fender wells. Fronts may look a little tucked in too.

The recommended offsets for E9X 3-Series are ET 33/35 in the rear. That being said ET 18 might be too aggresive for your vehicle.

Tempting, but I'm not looking to lower the car...plus dealing with the tire wear with negative camber...:

Thanks for the input everyone!

His is a pre-lci though and ET30 works great on the rear in a 9.5" wheel. ET35 is fine for the front on 8.5" I think with a pre-lci you could get away with et 25 on the rear if you aren't lowered more than oem sport.
