i dont know for sure becaues ive never tried it, but im almost posative you will have some rubbing, what profile do you plan to run on the tires? i had the e46 OEM 17's, and had 225's(i think it was 7 inches or something) and barely made it, actually in the front there was a little rubbing sometimes

Dude, the wheels are really hot man. My wheels are 18x8 and I have absolutely no rubbing issues what so ever. I believe that you should be fine. I run 225 rubber all around, so if you get 235 in the front, you should be ok. Even if you have a little rub, that's nothing the fender rolling can't fix. Plus it will look really hot!

The fronts should be ok. 255s in the back are going to be too thick. You will have to get the fenders rolled if you want to put tires that big on the rear. I run 235s in the back and I'm getting my fenders rolled this summer because of rubbing.

Nice rims though

they are not available with a lip but the spokes angle towards the middle so it is sort of like a bowl.
