Vert tire fitment issues

[XFACTOR]

I recently bought a 94 325ic it came with some 18's but it has major rubbing issues, im sure the springs are in pretty bad shape they are stock but it does have bilsteins front and rear I have added a couple pictures to show how close the tires are to the fenders. After a ton research, measuring and cleaning (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1147757#) on the 18's that came on this car (94 325ic) The offical measurement is this:

18x8 wheel
5 inch backspace
13 ET offset
tires are 225/40-18

From what I have read these cars need roughly between 35ish and 45ish ET correct? Do these measurements confirm this wheel will never work on this car?

Thanks everyone!

Those wheels are meant for a 5 or 7 series car. They're not meant to run on yours. That's not to say they won't work... but it'l cost a bit to make them driveable.
You'll need stiffer springs, and you'll need to run a 215/40 or smaller tire on them.

You're sure they're 18x8 et13? Standard is 18x8 et20 or 18x8.5 et13.

Yep, They are 18x8 ET13 (see pic) Are these a stock rim for the 5 or 7 series then? They dont have any stock Stamps or anything on the back... I assumed they were aftermarket... at this point I think it will be cheaper to buy a different set of wheels than to buy new springs (yet) and tires Thanks for the reply..
