I'm sure they would fit, all E36 rims have the same offset, 40 profile tires would definitely not cause any rubbing

I have a staggered set of rims on mine with the same tire sizes you mentioned above, so I would bet the rims are a staggered set.

I have DSII's and my rims aren't staggered. I will also post my tire size on here to help you out. I don't have rubbing issues. And my rims are 17's.

Then you either have 4 fronts or 4 rears... my guess is that you have 4 fronts.

Neither Fronts are 17x7.5.

FWIW, minicoop900, the DSII's came with 45 series tires, so as Brendan mentioned, a wider 40 series tire will fit with no problems.
