It'll be tight alright; His rear setup is a 9" ET42. ET35 is 7mm further out, and a 9.5" wheel adds 1/4" (6mm) to the outer edge, so your wheel lip will be 15mm further out than his. Unless you get aggressive with the negative camber I'm pretty sure it'll be beyond the fender.
Wes, I'm in the process of sending back my 18x9.5 ET35... did you see my pics of the 18x9 ET35 on my car now? I don't think the 9.5 are going to fit without some serious fender work

ah yeah i may be just be too hopeful and not realistic. i wish Apex made a concave wheel that wasn't so aggressively offset.
the wheels are backordered for like 2 months anyway so i have time if i want to change the order...

Here's the email I got from their tech support:

Robert,
Thank you for the email. From what I understand, you are running the following fitment:
18x8.5 ET35
19x9 ET35
You are attempting to fit a 18x9.5 ET35 in the rear and you are unsure if this will clear your rolled fenders? The 18x9.5 ET35 will clear if your fenders are rolled, with some negative camber dialed in. This will be a very aggressive fitment.
I look forward to working with you.
Best,
Max Kamal - BMW Product Expert
I translate that as: it'll fit but you may not like it

sorry to threadjack, but i changed the order for the rears to 18x9 ET 42. don't feel like dealing with that aggressive fitment and the fender mod requirements.
shipping ETA is may 10th. let the waiting begin (continue).

Good call! I wish I could do the same but SM-10 don't come in that size/offset
