Will this set up work without rubbing

I'm considering TC Kline Volk wheels with the following measurements for my M3 E92:

18x9.5 +28
18x10.5 +30

Tires will be Dunlop Direzzas in 275-35 18s. The set up will likely be for both DD and autocross. The car is lowered slightly with the Dinan springs. To keep weight down, I'd rather not run spacers, but I'd consider them to make the setup work.

Has anyone worked with this or a similar setup?

Thanks in advance.

Dave

the 18X9.5, 28 offset should work on all corners with that tire, so why not use four of those so you can freely rotate?

You may want to take measurements between the stock front tire and the strut. I think you may run out of room with the above set-up.

Yep, always a good idea. I know that size tire works up front with a 10" wheel width, and 25 offset, so the 28 should work with a 9.5" wheel.

I'm considering a used set. I probably will end up with a square wheel setup, but this particular set of wheels peaked my interest.

Thanks to everyone for their responses.
