fitment issues...

I am kinda new to the whole wheel fitment thing.

would these specs fit a 2005 z4 3.0i
Not lowered but plan to lower on h&r springs.
right now with sport suspension with 225/40/18 up front and 255.25.18 in the back. and sport rims.

The tire ares 235/40 and 265/35
Offset is 22 rear. 35 front\

anything i need to know, would this improve handling or worst?
thanks

For starters, the rear offset is the incorrect offset for the rear wheel of your car (I am assuming here that the wheels are a staggered set up. Please correct me if I am wrong).

It's probably just a typo, but your rear tires should be 255/35/18 vice 255/25/18.

The tires (including the 265/35/18s) will fit, however the rear offset is too aggressive. I don't recommend an a rear offset of lower than 35.
