Default BMW Wheel fitment

I Just acquired a set of BMW e90 staggered wheels.. (BBS) Wondering if I will have any rubbing issues? (02 z28) Fronts are 18x8 35mm offset and rears are 18x9 35mm offset. Backspace is around 6". No rubber yet, but planning on 275/35 on rear and a 245 front. I think the front will be fine, but the rear worries me. Any info would be great. Thanks

The rear also shouldn't be a problem with the 275/35/18's, but to be on the safe side load down the rear of the car with weight, then check the fender lip to tire sidewall clearance just to make sure you don't need to mildly roll one of the rear fender lips to prevent any side wall damage if the read-end happens to be off center.
