I have a 2014 435 xdrive and I'm thinking about buying 18 inch ESR RF2 wheels as a winter setup. They come in 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +25.

Will I have any issues with rubbing?

Not sure about how much the wheels base on f30 and f32 is different, but it would be impossible to put those 10 et 25 on f30 unless you stretch your tire big time and go cambergang, the second size you mentioned will be perfect. I would suggest going 18x9 et 30 and 245/40/18 square, you will love your fitment and will never rub. That is what I am running on my front with same specs you mentioned

Thanks for your input! I attached what I found on the APEX wheels website. Does the tire size you mentioned stretch the tire? Wasn't sure why APEX wheels recommends 255/35/18. Do I need to worry about negative camber? Do you have this setup on stock suspension? I apologize for my ignorance, this is my first time buying a new set of wheels. Has anyone run 18x9 +30 on an F32 in the front?

I am on coilovers and I actually run 18x9,5 et 35 255/40/18 on the rear and 18x9 et 30 245/40/18 on the front. I had 245/35/19 on 19x10 et 40 previously and it was a stretch setup, the current one is pretty much a safe track setup I use on daily basis. Ill include the diagram of my front and rear fitment below.


Also here is a picture of the side view for the wheel.


Trust me this setup has been measured many times and by the way ( I run stock camber and no modifications were needed.

I believe they messed up the parameters on the sheet, here is a comparison with a stock tire sizes:

Standard factory wheels offsets:
18" Double Spoke Style 400M (M Sport wheels) - 18x8" ET34 225/45-18 front / 18x8.5" ET47 255/40-18 rear
18" Double Spoke Style 397 (Sport Line wheels) - 18x8" ET34
19" Double Spoke Style 401 - 19x8" ET36 225/40/R19 front / 19x8.5" ET47 255/35/R19 rear
20" Cross Spoke Style 404 - 20x8" ET36 225/35/R20 front / 20x8.5" ET47 255/30/R20 rear
20" M Double Spoke Style 405 - 20x8" ET36 225/35/R20 front / 20x8.5" ET47 255/30/R20 rear

Thanks! Do you think any tire sized 245/40/18 will do or does it have to be a specific brand to avoid rubbing? Also the 18x9 +30 should have absolutely no issues in the rear right? The only concern was up front and it seems you've had no issues. I searched extensively to see if anyone else was running 18x9 +30 up front but it seems only a few people have attempted to.

I finally got the winter wheels on. They fit well, with no rubbing. There is a slight poke up front. I'll take a better pic when I get the chance.
