You will for sure have to roll the fenders, both front and rear. > Inside setup are H&R sport springs and Koni SA's. In stock strut tubes up front? If you do need a spacer, it'll be small: 10mm or maybe even 5mm? FWIW, I run same wheel/tires on the 325 race car, but with Bilstien coilovers up front, so the tubes may be smaller diameter, but no spacers needed. Lotsa fender rolling :-) It's mainly the 255 tires that are the issue. Not sure how different the 328 suspension geometry is from the M3, but with wheels of the proper offset (41mm, which the K1s are), you can run 8.5" wheels up front (same ones as the rear) with no spacers, but with 245-wide tires. That's what I've been running on the M3 for 8+ years.
