you'd have to roll them alot.. I have same springs and with 17x8.5 in rear i get slight rubbing when people are in back seat.. 18x8.5 would just make it probably

Yes the offset is one factor. As I understand it, the 9.5" wheel is for a M3. Their rear fenders are flared and can take the fit. The offset for a 8.5" wheel should be about 38 to 40mm. The offset for a 9.5 should be about 35mm. I've seen posts here and on other forums about the rear wheels. Any car that has been lowered, 235's are the biggest without any rubbing problems.

Breyton wheels has an 8.5 plus 9.5 wheel combo. Their wheels are 41 or 42mm in the rear depending on which model you choose. They recommend 225/40/18 all around. Or no bigger than 245/35/18 in the rear. I don't know if these figures are for stock suspension or not.
