Stock is 8J ET30 with 225 tires.
405M style (from 3 series) is 8J (front) ET36, I have chosen for same 225 tires.

The 6mm to the inside is no problem, plenty of space between wheel and shock (they told me you need to get your finger in between). I don't really notice it against my stock rims with the naked eye.

ET 40 (1 series?) and above wouldn't fit I guess (it will with spacers). ET 28 and lower would fit but remember you rim goos to the outside so don't over due it.

-> Window shopping rims (from different series) and get the technical data.
You could order the front rims separately. However it is from Germany, it is a neighbor from Belgium so shipping cost was almost nothing for me.

I hope that helps and could inspire more ppl.
Post your pics (in separate post, lol) when you do have your new rims.
