I am running 18x8.5 et38 with 245 and the inside clearance is only about 7mm, so your et42 will reduce the clearance to 3mm, don't think you can use 255 without spacer in the front.
thats weird b/c when i used the wheel offset calculator here:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12

i put in oem settings of: 8.0", et 50, 225/40/18
new wheel: 8.5", et 42, 255/35/18

and it spits out: "2mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 14mm"
