From my understanding the fronts will fit but the rears may be pose an issue without rolling the guards. Can anyone suggest otherwise or should I keep looking...

Cheers

P.S. I don't own a 1-er yet but am very close to picking up a MT 130i
My gut feel is that the offset on the rears might be a bit too low. I've previously had 18x9 +38 with a 245 tyre which still rubbed on big dips with rolled guards. The car was lowered however with a bit less than 1 finger gap all round.

Might be possible if you want to run a skinny tyre and a heap of camber, but traction is always good to have on a 1er IMO
