Great tire choice. The Rota group purchase is on Bimmerforums.com; 18racing.com stocks the 17x8 and 17x8.5 Rota D2; and there is another supplier which stocks 17x8 ET32 Rota Boost (sorry, I'd give you the link but I'm on my work PC).

I think I’ll go with the Rota Boost wheels. When you get home, could you could post a link to the supplier that stocks these?
Thanks!!

What would be required to fit 17x8 ET60 wheels with 215/40/17's?
Thanks
Where are you finding 17x8 ET60 wheels in 4x100?
In any case 35mm adaptors would be the best bet. These are the type of spacer that bolt to the hubs using their own hardware, essentially extending the hub. The wheel then bolts to the adaptor with the stock lugs. With this same setup, 235/40/17 will also be mountable (with fender rolling).

They're RH ZW-1's... Can you possibly provide me with a link to what I should be looking at? All I can really find are the 4-to-5 lug adapters that the VW guys use for Porsche wheels, and ones for Dually trucks...
EDIT: Also, can a traditional spacer be run on top of the adapter? For example, if the wheels had a 20mm adapter, could I use a 15mm spacer in addition?
After reading through this I was left with a bit of a question / conflicting answers.
So would a 16x7 ET35 running 225/46/16 RS2's require any sort of spacer, fender work, etc? Or should I just get a 205/50 and not worry / sacrifice grip for fit?

That setup without spacers will be either extremely close to the strut or just plain rubbing it.
If you run 15mm hubcentric spacers, you will need to roll the fenders. This is the best combo though.
Thanks. Is there an in-between route, like a 5 or 10mm spacer that'd do the trick? I'm hoping to avoid spacers period but finding 15-16" x 7-7.5" ET2x rims is a PITA :(

Spacers bigger than 5mm but smaller than 15mm are not hubcentric. You will get vibrations, and overall it's not really safe.
The only exception to this rule is spacers with oversized outer bores, meaning the wheel is not 57.1mm. But then we're getting into custom spacers.
