might have to change the outer cv joint for one off a 225 aswell but would have thought it would fit wouldn't guarantee it though although we did my mates bmw and that was just change the hubs you will have to upgrade brakes aswell as your discs wont fit new hubs! means new calipers aswell or have the discs made to fit the hub to your caliper...... prob cheaper to buy the 225 calipers aswell!

You might want to look into the 2.0dCi hubs. They're 5-stud and the callipers/discs aren't as expensive as the 225's massive Brembo ones. Absolutely no idea about the CV joints or bearings, though...
And eddie's right about the spacer conversion kits, they're available. But they add 50mm to the track width, which might limit your choice of wheel design as the wheel offset needs to be bigger than normal to compensate for that.
