I am not sure of the offset on the rear 18 inch M3 rims but my guess is they are about et25.
I would have thought that you should be ok on the front. Should clear the dampers ok as rims is narrower than the CSL rim. Only slight chance that you may fould the arch liner and arch on the front but that will depend on actual offset and your suspension set up (esp camber)

The off set of the BMW M3 18" 9J rears that I have is ET26 and the tyres I'm considering are: TOYO R888 265/35/18 @ £912 all in delivered (not fitted)... TOYO R1R 265/35/18 @ £ 868 all in delivered (not fitted)... or Dunlop DZ03G 265/35/18 @ £1100 (auch!) all in delivered (not fitted). Yokohama A048 in the same size are a whopping £1488 !!! not fitted . To be honest none of these deals are as good a deal that you have with your local tyre place of £800 for the same size set of Cups. Just to double check with U, is that £800 inc. VAT delivery & fitting for 4 X Michelin Pilot CUP 265/35/18 s ? Same tyres as recommended for the M3 CSL, just one wheel size smaller ?
BTW, I found a pix of someone on here who run this set up with Dunlop DZ02Gs in 265/35/18, although I see from the pix this CSL has aftermarket suspension and probably runs RACE cambers + the obvious AP racing anchors, which seem to clear the 18" 9J rears OK :thumbs:
