I’ve read that Apex makes a wheel “for the 1 & 2” in 18x9Jet42 but I can’t seem to find anyone actually running them. Someone in the wheels and tires sub told me the other day that a 17x9Jet45 would work with a front space but his car appeared to be a 1er rather than a 2er.
The ST* rules say only rolling the fender lips is legal. Any cutting or pulling would bump you out of the class. So I guess a truly square setup is out.

You really need 235i specific measurements. You SHOULD be able to get that 17x9 to fit up front with a 5mm spacer and a fender roll. In the rear, I have no idea but I imagine the 235i has MORE clearance if anything. So, you should be able to make it work with a good fender roll and the right camber. That would be a decent setup. But what about tire fitments? 18's kind of suck in regard to tire fitment on 9" wheels. 255/35r18 is an odd tire size. 255/40r17 is a very popular size with lots of tire options.
