Personal experience with a 255/40 17 on a 17x8 et 41, no way they will fit. Sorry
Thought it'd fit based on the wheel/tire calculator here:

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

entered current specs:
8.5 width, 42mm offset, 225/40/18 tire (what I'm actually running now)

new specs:
8.5 width, 42mm offset, 255/35/18 tire

and it spit out:
THE SAME clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will extend to THE SAME point as the stock wheel
