Here's the important part:
Maybe you got a different answer when you talked to them directly, but I don't see how the 17x8.5 ET40 Arc-8 would be worse than the BBS RGR 17x8 ET40 with 235's. I've always read Eddy's note as being anything beyond 235 square is a problem for *any* wheel on the 1 series (non-M) for an easy bolt-on setup because there is no offset that accommodates both front and rear for a greater tire width. I could be wrong though. It's happened before.
I don't know. My OZ ultraleggera are 17x8 et 40 225 on front as well and was told by tire rack any size bigger would require a roll or some modification.
