18" Staggered RIVA DTM on my E87

[webster91]

Hi guys,

I drive a 2006 E87 116i m sport and am looking at replacing the stock m sport wheels for something a little different.

how well do you think the wheels in the below link would fit? too big?

Responses are very much appreciated!

Thanks.

you'd have to really max camber out in the back and roll pull fenders. id say dont do it.

I thought as much .
can you recommend a good size? i m looking for a slightly wider stance.. maybe a bit of tyre stretch.

Thanks for the reply.

I honestly think it's fairly easy to fit them.

Front: You will need to add more camber and roll/pull the fenders as these will poke out around 22mm more. BMW 261 wheels are 18x7.5 +49 and these are 18x8 +34.

Rear: BMW Style 261 rear wheels are 18x8.5 +52, these are 19x8.5 +37. That's only 15mm of poke. But if you get a mild fender roll they should work fine, there are people on here running the stock wheels with 15mm spacers, which is effectively the same offset you are looking at.

I ran 12mm spacers on my stock Style 261 wheels with stock fenders and only rubbed on hard bumps in the rear. No problems at all in the front (every car is different, mind you).

I'm not too keen on the thought of spacers... can you point me to a good website that can sell me some high quality spacers?

With the wheels you posted you wouldn't want spacers. I was telling you about my wheel specs with spacers and how they would compare. A good place for quality spacers is Adaptec Speedware. Send them a message on Facebook with what you want and they'll hook you up.

I will be using the spacers with my the 207m alloy wheels i have on the car now .

Thanks for your help!

Should work with a fender roll.
