18x9.5 squared on Stock ZCP suspension

Hi everyone, I've been trying to do research on wheel fitment for a while but couldn't find a straight answer.

What I'm trying to know is if 18x9.5 et33(or 35) can fit up front on stock ZCP suspension. I have a 07 328i and wouldn't mind rolling/pulling my fenders a little.

Also, what size tires would be a good choice for this set-up? 265/35/18 or is that pushing it?

You can use et33 or et35 front. Both will work with your suspensions but with coilovers then spacers are needed to clear inside struts.

Here is 9.5 front with et35 and 235/40 tyre

Here is more talk about 9.5 front with different size tyres.

Based on those yes you can fit quite wide tyres to front ,but im not going to say what will work for sure because i dont know. It depends on so many things.

My setup is going to be apex arc8 18x9.5 et35 front and 18x9.5 et22 rear for E90 320d Pre Lci. I´m going to use 235/40/18 tyres allround and my car is lowered with hr sport springs.

I going to go with Hankook 235/40 because it fits for sure and no need for camber adjusments or fender rolling etc.
And because i dont really need/want that wide tyres.

Here are some good pictures at 235/40 on 9.5 to show how it looks
