If you can get the 278's in at least a +38mm offset, I say go for it.

The 5X120mm bolt spacing is a BMW bolt spacing, and ALOT of BMW wheels are made with a +20mm offset which will stick too far out on our cars.

Yes, the Ruff 278's work in the 35mm offset staggered. I plan to buy them and get the WHEEL hub(mounting suface) machined a tad bit so its like a 40mm offset. I hear that the rears are really close to the fender and that they need to be rolled. Thats no problem for me either
