ok ill start with what i have found when test fitting some different rims... this is my opinion only, dont blame me if im wrong :D

on the front i could fit a 9.5' rim +40 (it was sticking in the gaurd alot and im sure u could go a 9.5" or +30). The +40 was really close to the suspension on the inside of the rim but choosing the +30 offset or whatever will be much better on both accounts

9.5" + 40 on the rear was touching the coilover only just and i could probably get a +35 on the rear if u make it run heaps of negative camber (2 camber kits), tyre wear wont be your friend though :whistling:

on the rear i would personally go 9" wide only and a +30 offset (same as r34 gtr rims) and that is perfect with some camber to tuck it under the gaurds, on the front u can run 9" + 20 or +25 easy with abit of camber.

r34 gtr rims fit great on the rear, u just need a 10mm spacer or more on the fronts and it works out good (r34 gtr rims are 9' x +30)

these fitments mentioned are with plenty of rear camber to tuck them under the gaurds so dont expect stock camber with these rear offsets to clear the rear gaurds.

hope its some sort of help, but please try a test fit if u can to see for sure.

p.s. To answer the question i think u have no hope of fitting a 9.5' +22 under the rear gaurds without them sticking out about 13-15mm at least and thats with alot of negative camber

You'll fit those sizes easily on the front and rears. You will not only have more inner clearance than me but your wheels will also not stick out as much.

The fronts will look very sunken though (in my opinion)

I run 18x9.5 +1 fronts and 18x10 +20 rears. Front camber is 1 degree, rear is 1.5 degree. Rear guards have a lip (just the inside lip bend up). For these camber levels you probably wont need after market adjustment as when the car is lowered to suit the wheels, they will naturally camber in. Camber kits are often installed to remove camber.

Go for it IMO

hey Alex love the wheels mate, i think u have pushed the limit of offset on the rear though haha.

how far do u reckon the rim is sticking out from the gaurd on the rears?

and how far do the fronts stick out with the 25mm spacer on?

i would love some aggresive offsets but dont want them sticking out the gaurds more than 5mm max.

The fronts, maybe 15mm

The rears, 10mm or so.

It really depends on how you measure it too. I mean, my lip sits on my guard when I have enough weight in the back, but then, if you measure "sticking out" from the top of the wheel then it would be sticking out 0mm, but thats with about 2 degrees negative camber.

The best bet for anyone is test fit before you buy, if the wheels hard tyres. If they don't, find something similar and see if you like the fitments.

I am more of the attitude "get the wheels fit, make the car fit them second". However, my guards are full stock, only a lipping of the rears was needed.

i did go test fit those rims and they came out looking pretty much the same as urs, looks mad, but just not the look im after... thanks for every1's imput, realy helped and should keep helping every1

Each to their own, its understandable.

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
