Has anyone ever fit a 28x10x17 on an E82 135i?

Just as the title states, I'm wondering if anyone has been able to cram a 28x10x17 Hoosier slick in the rear of a 1 series. If so, what where the wheel specs? Any modification required?

I want to run this tire, as many 3 series guys do, but fear it won't fit in the back of the E82 chassis.

-----------------

According to my calculations, here is what I found out.

The equivalent of a 28x10x17 is a 255/55/17: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hoo-18157

I am currently running a 275/40/17 MT ET Street radial on a 17x8.5" ET50 wheel. It fit, but required a fender roll. I am lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs (~1.5" drop). I also have a 17x9.5" ET54 wheel I could try. I could also try swapping in the stock rear springs to raise it up.

275/40/17 --> 255/55/17 aka 28x10x17: https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.p...2=55&wheel_size=17&wheel_width=8-5&offset2=50

Hypothetically, I don't know if I'd be able to fit a 255/55/17 tire. Much taller, but seemingly a bit more narrow?

Here are some photos of E92/E90 running this tire, just to give an idea of what I'm looking to do. I know the E82 chassis has different offsets.

Would changing to 335 hubs help I know the 135 is pushed out more right
That would help wheel selection, but I'm more curious if the actual physical dimensions of the 28x10 would physically fit underneath within the wheel well - considering they have a 12" section width.

My car is the first picture in the second post. That was with a full interior and sport suspension. It BARELY fits and that was with a 3 mm spacer. I have to compress the suspension in order to get the wheel on because it hits that link that connects the chassis to the rear subframe (not sure if 1'er's have it or not). Now it's fully gutted with 328i non-sport springs on it and a 10 mm spacer and it has a lot more clearance. Still an issue with that link though but that's getting modified.
