If a tire couldn't maintain a seal over that distance you could never bump a curb or a headstone without the tire deflating. I'd go buy a used 15" tire and drive it around for a week just to be sure. Unless, of course, he wants new wheels anyway?
bmw never made a 380mm rim. they made 390mm rims way to do your researchbefore you post like an asshole. he either needS to buy the $300 god damn tires, or buy new rims and tires which will be cheaper in the long run. DON'T PUT AMERICAN SIZE TIRES ON METRIC RIMS.
