BimmerWorld sells this spec of wheel with our cars in mind and has a nice gallery that happened to use this exact size and model of tire, so that made me feel good.
I'm new to the 2 series world, but from browsing the forums it seems like an offset between +38 and +42 is the sweet spot for an 8.5" wheel, so in a perfect world +40 may have been the way to go, but the wheel selection was limited, and a wheel with +45 would have required a front spacer as I really wanted a square setup...anyways, sorry to ramble! Happy to provide more pics if anyone wants.

Here's the inner clearance at the front, probably the tightest spot:

My thoughts are the same, glad it worked out for you. I agree the 40 offset is the way to go but like you say, they're not available with an 8.5 which means the 45 offset with a spacer and i'm not a fan of spacers (no offense to anyone just personal preference)... anyway, looks great in my opinion...
My other thought is 19x8 et42 with 235-35-19, that should work. I'm so undecided on this, i guess we'll see... good luck with your set up
