Would these wheel / tyre sizes actually fit?

I am considering going back to 18" wheels for tracking purposes. Was looking around and saw the following setup for the z4m on turnermotorsport
APEX ARC-8 18x9.5 ET35 275/35-18 / 18x10 ET25 275/35-18

There's no direct link to the page, you have to click around in a gallery, but here is a photo 52520Z4%252520M%252520white%252520right%252520rear.jpg

Could you really put a 9.5" wheel with 275 tyre on the front?
 
I couldn't really comment on the fronts as I only run a 9 inch, but I run the same rear wheel with a 265/35 and it's very tight...
... depending on your suspension settings and tyre of choice, I'd be surprised if a 275 doesn't touch the arch lip under compression.
 
I can't see how the fronts wouldn't rub the arch liner on compression & on steering
You may also have to add spacers to the front as the rear face of the wheel would be 14mm towards the susp strut/calipers which would push the face even further out & that would already be as if you had a 25mm spacer on the 224s :o fandangoesque :cry:
Pm "DLH" , he has these wheels on his MC but i think different specs :?
 
those will definitely rub... don't care what anyone says.... they run mega camber and suspension that doesn't actually travel/ ROCK hard to make these types of setups works.
 
That's what I suspected.

I'm running 19x10 rear ET20 with a 275/30 PSS, just got back from Spa, had no problems. Stock suspension (at the moment anyway)
