Aren't those wheels too good for winter use ? I have heard that the Toyos give good perfomance but they do not last very long. I can't see that it would be a problem putting 265's on a 8.5J rim...I have got 245's on a 8.5J and 265's on a 9.5J.

E34's are 72.5mm and E39 are 74mm, you should be able to source the metal spigot rings from any reputable alloy wheel supplier.
