Will 18x8.5 +38 offset fit all around?
The fitment guide indicates front: 10mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 2mm. Will 10mm inside and 2mm outside be an issue? Is there any other downside to 8.5 wide in the front?

No, but there is an upside--with same size wheels/tires all around, you dial out pesky factory-set understeer (inherent in BMW's staggered setups), resulting in more neutral handling.

This means those of us with instructor-level drivers ed training can intentionally slide the rear end easier with DSC off!
