Need help fast

I'm looking to buy some rims (factory M3 E46) My car is a 325 Ci. I'm new to the BMW car scene and notciced there are different size offsets. The fronts are 225/45 18" high. Tire Width is 9.5" The rears are 225/40 18" high. Tire Width 10.5". Will these rims fit my car without modifing anything and will they rub on the fenders. Any help will greatly appreciated.

Some people have done it without any issues, while others have had some minor rubbing issues. I think with a coupe you might be safe.

How can the tire width be 9.5 and 10.5 if they are 225's in the front and the rear? I guess I am misunderstanding something...

But yeah, the E46 M3 18" wheels should fit just fine without any rubbing.

That's obviously a typo. The rears are 245 not 225, hence the extra approximate inch (20 millimeters)
