Tires & Wheels for daily driver & track car

Hey Folks.

I realize there are a ton of threads on this, and I think I have done my research, but want to confirm.

I currently have 19" wheels that came with my Z4 M Roadster when I purchased it used. I am reverting to 18" wheels to get better track performance. I am planning on Apex ARC-8 wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

I will be running these tires for a bit with stock suspension, including track outings. I plan to upgrade to coilovers and camber plates in the near future, but am still shopping / budgeting.

Here are the tire and wheel sizes I was planning to get:
ARC-8 18x9 ET30 with 245/40
ARC-8 18x10 ET25 with 275/35

Will these tires avoid rubbing with stock suspension and the camber pins pulled / shimmed to ~ -2 degrees camber?

If they will rub, would a fender roll avoid this?

Any other feedback on the wheel and tire size choices?

Hoping to pull the trigger on this within the next few days.

Thank you
