M3 wheels on 335xi

Hey guys can someone please shine some light over this.
I'm picking up 2010 M3 rims with tires mounted, this set up will go on my 2008 335xi, I'm just wondering if I'll have any issues as far as rubbing, or issues with the xdrive, I appreciate any advice and thank you.

Wheels and tires spec
2010 M3 wheels 18'' specs 255/35/18 in rear 225/40/18 In front.

Yes, they are different offsets. What are the offsets of the wheels you are picking up?

Just a note: those tire sizes are not m3 sizes either.

jdamore is right. Those tire specs are actually the specs on the regular 335 staggered configuration. Is it possible that these are just M3 replica wheels designed to fit the 335?

Ive done it on my old 07 335xi. Perfect fit IMO, no rubbing whatsoever. I ran 245's all around as well.

My assumption exactly. Hope the person he's buying from didn't tell him they're OEM if they're not!

OEM? I'm not saying it won't fit but m3 offsets are like 23-28ish (I forgot the exact) and non-M are like 50-something (?).

additional details on the widths of the wheels? should be:

18x8.5 ET29
18x9.5 ET23

I'm currently running 235/40R18 and 255/35R18 Blizzaks.
I've run as wide as 265 tires in the rear.

Thank you so much guys, the tires on the wheels are not the m3 tire specs.
The wheel offsets are 18x8.5 ET29
18x9.5 ET23.
How can someone tell if the wheels are genuine or replicas ?
My conclusion is these rims with the tires shouldn't give me a problem ?
These are the wheels
He has them on a e46

He's in a e92 which has less clearance than a e90, keep in mind.

OP, if you don't want to rub.. I believe you will have to go one profile smaller in tire with m3 offsets. I'm not an expert.. Not even close but, I would just get yourself m3 reps with the correct offsets. My 0.02$
