Comments on staggered setup on m235i xdrive?

Hi guys,

I was planning on taking my time on buying new wheels and tires for my m235i xdrive, but I just took a nail through my stock all season runflat. I have a separate car for the winter, so I am looking to put on some purely nice weather tires. I am looking to use my car only for enjoyment on nice days and also maybe doing time attack at local raceway. Can anyone comment on the following?

VMR 810 Gunmetal wheels on Alpine White m235i xdrive
18x8.5 ET35 in the front with a 225/40/18 tire and
18x9.5 ET45 in the rear with a 255/35/18 tire
Tires will be Michelin Pilot Super Sports

I am looking for a flat look with no poke and no camber. I am not concerned about the wheels being flush to fender - I don't want to deal with spacers. I want to maintain traction even in turns. I do have an Enzo ECU tune and downpipe - I currently have square stock 225's all the way around on 7.5" wheels. I lose traction if I turn the wheel at all while flooring it on the stock all season run flats.

Also - what about a spare? Should I just carry around a patch kit and air compressor? Or should I buy a spare?

Thanks
