Call Matt Bean at Thomson BMW in Doylestown PA. He's not that far from you and is both a Dinan and Apex dealer. Even if you don't buy from him he can tell you exactly what to get.

The 8.5j ET45 will rub on the strut. Also, with xdrive you really want matching diameters front to back, or your xdrive will suffer.
A square setup will be your best bet.
