If the offset is 35 they will fit. You might want to add a spacer to the rear though. You could even run a spacer in the front depending on how aggressive you want them to look.

Yes, it'll work fine. Im running a square set-up with the VMR VB3's 18x8.5 ET40 with 235/18/40 Ultrac Sessantas all around. Hope this helps! (E90 328xi)

P.S- Where in CT?

If you want to maintain the original diameter specs of the OEM setup, you might want to consider 255/35/18 all around. Hence, no effect on speedo readings. 235/40 would be a taller tire.

This would be a perfectly fine square setup.
