Will this 17" winter pkg work and look ok on my 135i?

Elbrus 102, 17x7.5, offset +42
Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero RFT (Performance Snow) 225/45R17 RunFlat

Plan to buy this setup for all 4 corners.This is for my 135i Msport for winter.

1) Will the tire stick out of the wheel well up front due to the wider than stock front tires (225 vs 215), and +2mm offset over stock wheel offset on the wheels (I think stock is +40mm), or rub the strut to the inside ?

2) Will the .2" inch overall height difference between my stock tires (24.77") and the proposed winter setup (24.97") confuse the car's traction control computer causing it to intervene when it shouldnt?

3) Also, Ive always used hubcentric wheels before and this is the first time Ill be using centering rings. Do they just snap into the wheels, and are they durable? Are they as vibration-free as hubcentrics?

thanks...

1. Those won't stick out. No concern at all. Perfect fit.

2. See number 1.

3. They do snap into the back and they are very durable. They are every bit as vibration free as hubcentric wheels.
