17x8 w/ 35mm offset fit the 135i?
Per a comparison to the wheels the BMW Canada retails through their dealer network (at an astronomical $3,200 with Goodyear runflats) which are 17 x 7 w/ +47mm offset, I ran a 17 x 8 w/ 35mm offset through the excellent comparison machine at http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp (bookmark it if you haven't!) and see that the only fitment change (based on the same 205-50-R17 winter tire) is that my choice will stick out 12mm (a smidge under 1/2") further than BMW's choice.
I presume, given that Tire Rack and many others list the 17 x 8 w/ 35mm offset as being an acceptable fitment, that this will be okay? Thanks!

These were the wheels I had in mind: http://www.ykwmotorsports.com/Euro_Bmr4.html
But, I ultimately went with a set from TireRack -- Gill was excellent to deal with -- the only issue is that the car won't have winter tires on it now when we pick it up...so I'll have to gingerly drive it home and park it for a few weeks.

Given where the tire (205-50-R17) ends up in relation to the fender lip with the 17x8 / +40mm offset wheels I went with, I'm glad I didn't go with the 17x8 / +35mm offset wheels...as there would have been a rubbing issue.
