Default SSR Comp 18x9.5

What would need to be done to fit these on my e36 with front offsets +27 and rear offsets +35?

well you're gonna have to use 255 size tires (can use other sizes, but 255-265 would be best) and those cost more. there are many people on here running 17x9 with 255 tires and they dd their car so wait til they chime in with their experiences.

I'm not sure a 255 will fit on those wheels under our fenders

I'm running a 255/40/17 on my 17x9.5's all around. I rolled, and have a slight flare in my fenders. However, my offsets are around et41 all around. I have to use a 20mm spacer up front to clear the strut, the smallest spacer I can get away with up front would be a 18mm.

I think a 245.35.18 would have to be run, unless you plan to really hammer away at the rear fenders and/or run tons of rear camber and/or jack the rear ride height to OE.

A large 245/35/18 will be slightly stretched on a 9.5, but is approved for that rim width - so its doable without looking like a stretch/poke stanceterd.

It would be tight. Camber, fender roll and correct tire size (prob 245/35/18) and you should be able to rock it. I would certainly give it a try. It's similar to the setup I'm DDing these days.
