M235i on Alutec Drive 18x8 et43

Here's my 2016 M235i 6mt on Alutec Drive 18x8 et43 (square) on the factory 225/40r18 front and 245/35r18 rear MPSS tires. The rears are very flush and the fronts are just slightly within the wheel well. I test fitted and confirmed that the 245/35r18 with this wheel width and offset will work on the front and clears the front strut by about 8mm. 245s on the front look meaty and is definitely what I'll go with once the 225s wear out. The wheels weigh 22lbs each and are hubcentric to the car. I'm running OEM BMW center caps. Alutec is a German wheel company that Tirerack recently picked up.

UPDATE:

Photos show below are of the car on a square 245/35R18 Pilot 4S setup. Absolutely no rubbing and plenty of clearance between the tire and strut housing, splash covers, and 1-inch drop Dinan springs in the back (only) on 5MM lift spacers.
