e36 help regarding rolling and flaring, cutting..

[sixcyl320i]

Hello guys and gals, I need some input on what has been done in the past by you and others to get the results i need.

Here is what i have 4 17x9 et 26 style 32's. I want to wrap them in 275/40 tires (i cant find 275/35. does anyone know if they exist?)

What im wondering is if rolling and flaring the wheel arches a lot might get me by without cutting, hammering, dollying, and adding metal. its kinda looking like im going to need to cut out and add, but i dunno how far others have gotten their e36 to flare out... seems most people do the 5er wheels for looks. I wanted them for their width. and the price was perfect..

In these pics the rear wheel arch is sitting on the tire, and this is what im mostly wondering about. and yea...backwards motorsport stripes on a 325, they will be gone and the whole car technoviolet before summer.

I dont think you can run 275 in unless you replace the fenders with widebody ones but Im no expert. I had 255/35 on 8.5" ET35 wheels and had to roll the fenders quite a bit
