Trying to fit some M parallels (with pics)

I am trying to put 18X9.5 ET 25 (E38 spec) in rear and it is sticking out a little bit. The tire is 255/35/18.
The front wheel offset is 8X18 et20 (E39 spec with hub rings). It looks like it is going to rub the fender. I wonder if 215/40/18 tires could help.

Have you thought about lowering the car a bit?
They will fit no problem.

That'll be close. Roll the fenders for extra room. It's pretty easy to do.

When you lower it they'll camber in slightly. You can do 215/40 on the front and you'll be good. Just roll your fenders. I ran 8.5 et 15 with a 215 tire and it was flush when I aired all the way down so you have some room to play with.
