Within the next couple of months, it's a distinct possibility I'll be buying some rims. I have a 95 M3 with 17 X 7.5's all around. I'm looking to go 18 X 8.5's all around. Now, a few questions:

Tire size, I'm assuming, would be 235/35-18. Is that correct?

Will there be any rubbing? I have stock suspension, but, that is only short term.

Can I go with a 9" wide rim in the back without any rubbing, or will I have to roll the fenders? What size tire would the 9" rim take? 245/35-18???

Thanks in advance. If there is anything I have missed, feel free to hit me with some knowledge and wisdom.
