BBS E88 18" Fitment Questions

I have done some searching and found some answers and have narrowed down the the following.

Currently, I am running a square 10" setup with 359s (ET25s). I am running 275/30/19 rubber. The front fitment is pretty good but it could use another 5mm IMHO. The rear fitment is awesome with 15mm spacers so . With this setup, I get zero rub but it is close to the fender liners when I turn full lock up front.

The reason I went square is I love the dish of the 10" wheels. I do not track the car, so having square rubber is not a real need for me.

I would love to go to BBS E88s some day and I am looking at the following staggered sizes:

F - 18x9.5 ET15 with 265/35/18 rubber
R - 18x10.5 ET15 with 285/35/18 rubber

With this setup, the fronts would perfectly fit in the front and rear based on the calculator that I am using (wheel-size.com). The fronts are a slightly smaller diameter so lock to lock should not be an issue. The rears are wider, which is nice with a SC. Also, with the width and the tire size, the sidewalls should be relatively square, which I like (I do not want any stretch).

With the stretch comment, would a 10" rear rim be smarter? I am not going to run wider that 285 on the rear, and allowing for a 275 size does open up the tire options a little bit. In that case I would run:

F - 18x9.5 ET15 with 265/35/18
R - 18x10 ET10 with 275/35/18 or 285/35/18

Now with that said, does it make any sense to just stay with 10" wide square??? Analysis paralysis...

I would love to hear from some other folks on what setups give great fitment on the E92 ZCP. Not in a hurry to get new wheels but it is something I have always wanted and will someday have. Thinking gold face with polished lips and open-pocket look.

Thanks for any input you may have!!

Cheers,

Here's a side profile for an example of my setup.

Schirmer Spec'd Race Pocket 18"x10, 18"x11. ET21.5 all around.
PS4S 265/35/18, 295/30/18.

Perfect clearance, no rubbing even on high-speed dips or hard cornering.

Thanks man!! So many choices. Your whip looks awesome - exactly what I want but with gold faces.

Now I need to figure out how to fix my ride height as the stock ZCP needs to be lowered in the front for sure.

I ordered a set from Schirmer (10"F and 11"R) - was expecting to wait months and months. Shipped in a week (then waited in customs for a week) but they arrived today!!! Having some 265/35/18 and 295/30/18 PS4S tires mounted on Friday.

I will post some photos soon but I am happy they arrived so fast given the wait times I saw being discussed on many forums.

Excited for sure!!

Just need to decide on black or silver paint to dress the exposed hubs.

Gunna be a bit of a twin to GORDON.M3

Cheers,
