Yes, that is my recommendation for a staggered 18" track wheel setup.

Those 18" wheel sizes are just about perfect for the E9x M3's.

Tire Recommendations:

Front: 265/35/18, 275/35/18

Rear: 275/35/18, 285/35/18, 295/35/18

And don't worry about the 18x9.5 front, this car can accommodate 18x10" wheels on the front axle with the correct offsets. (not kidding)

BTW: BMW built in some very generous (wide) fenders on this M3. (as opposed to the previous E46 M3)
