Tire size is wrong, I'd suggest 255/55 which is the recommended size from BMW. TR told me that 235/60 is another size that will fit according to their sizing, and they are a bit cheaper.

Not sure about the 131, you'd have to test fit them as LeMansX5 said. I run another style and it is very tight but it clears (thanks to LeMansX5 and ncx).

Style 99 is what BMW uses (and recommends) on their winter packages. Not sure why since a few select other wheels fit over the 4.8 brakes, perhaps slightly more clearance with the 99s?

Anyway, I have Style 58 with ET48 and in the front it is about just right (tucked in a little more would be perfect), I would not want them further out and have crud fly all over the vehicle. In the rear however, ET48 "sucks" the wheels inboard and they could use some spacer, but it would be strictly for looks.
