TireRack shows this combo for my car but I'm thinking I might have some rubbing issues? Any have this combo on your 03-04 M45? These are the wheels I'm look at, pretty cheap:

Rubbing issues would depend on what offset the wheels are.

Personally, I would look for a set of the factory M45 Sport 19's.

The offset on M45sport wheels are going to be too high for a Y34 M...

Do you want to run the 9.5s with 265s all around or just up front? Rear shoudlnt be an issue but fronts could be?

We have no idea if those wheels will fit becuase they list no offset.

Most assuredly too high! I guess I will mention this: "yes, you could use spacers to get back to the right offset, but spacers are evil" (IM - and other peoples - HO ).

I think that they could be too. Without a fitment test, it is not clear. Best to go to a tire place and try to see what works. Remember to take car off the lift and load the suspension to see the end result.

just buy a set of 19's and with a 275/30 in the rear, it will look lovely.
