Thanks for all.

Thanks for the message! You can definitely run EC-7s on your M235i. The front fitment you listed is spot on for EC-7s. We actually have these on sale in Race Silver and Anthracite on our website right now.
In the rear we generally recommend the 18x9.5 ET58 rather than the ET43.
The 2 Series chassis has pretty high offset requirements and the ET58 helps fit the larger rear wheel and tire size without issues. ET43 may require some rear fender modifications or negative camber in order to clear.

Our recommended fitment for your car with tire sizes looks like this:

Front: 18x8.5" ET35 with 225/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x9.5" ET58 with 255/35-18 tires

-235/40-18 front tires can also be used, but we strongly suggest dialing in front negative camber to prevent rubbing. Amount of camber varies depending on tire brand and ride height.

-265/35-18 rear tires may also be used, but may require 3mm or larger spacers, or trimming fender liner and shock dust boot.

-xDrive requires 225/40-18 front and 255/35-18 rear tires.

Let us know if you have any additional questions!
Thanks

Hi Tom, thanks for you request! Now I am wearing a vmr 9.5 et45, and I have no problem of rubbing anywhere. Will those additional 2mm be a problem?

Thanks!

Probably not, but it depends on the tires you plan on running et c. If an ET45 wheel is working at the moment I would guess that you will probably be OK with ET43 but I can't say for sure.

Thanks
