MV4 Square setup

Firstly, welcome to the forum.
When you get a moment, a brief intro and a photo of your car in the newbie section would be greatly appreciated.
Not a lot of help I know, but I had a square set of 18" wheels with ET38 and they sat nicely in the arches.
How the extra diameter will affect rubbing I have no idea, but they won't protrude from the arch.

Standard BMW fitment for e85 on a 8J x 18 alloy is 225/40 R18, which would be a minimum width for me on a 8J alloy. You could go 235/40 R18 or 245/40 R18 (but with them sticking out a further 10.0 mm than standard might cause rubbing on the front) or even 225/40 R18 front and 245/35 R18 rear.
Standard alloys is 8J x 18 E47 square or front and 8.5J x 18 ET50 for the rear

I have a square set of MV2s with all seasons on them for use in the winter; 225/40/18s and car is fine with them even in bad weather. Those wheels had 235 rubber on then when I bought the car and they were fine at the front; 245 on the fronts would rub I reckon.
