alright, 5mm spacers didn't cut it and there is no additional negative camber adjustment available with the factory settings. So at this time I'm left with either modifying the front fenders or going down to a 245/40.

I've decided to go with the later since I'm concerned that without additional negative camber up front the 255's may not provide any additional improvement on the track (information provided by some others more learned on the subject of track suspension setup).

8.5" et35 should be close enough to stock to fit. It would stick out a little but is negligible. With 245/255 im hoping it would fit. Scottbmw can you chime in and let us know whether or not the bbk was the reason they did not fit? If you had smaller brakes would you have had no fitment issues with 18x8.5et 37 with 255.40 all the way around?? Please let me know thanks. Your pm box was full the other night.
The O.E. brake shouldnt have any clearance issues and I don't see running a ET35 8.5" with 255/40 being a problem (cosmeticaly it may look bulky and akward) I'm running a ET37 8.5 with a 10mm spacer to clear my Brembo's so this is essentially a ET27 8.5

here is a picture of my set-up for reference
