I've already seen a thread of a black 135i with RS05RR enkei wheels. He runs +35 and +50 in the rear but it looks flat.
I want to run a concave wheel. 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear.
I've read of lower offset makes wheel more concave. So i want a staggered concave look in the rear. I see they offer for rear 18x9 in +50 offset and 18x9.5 et35 offset .
What would be a good fit for my 135i for a concave aggressive look.
Will use 225/40r18 and 255/35r18 tires.

Thanks in advance, I'm in love with those wheels.

Yes, you are correct. A lower offset allows for more concavity.

There is a reason he is running those specs. 18x9.5" ET30 with 255/35's will rub. You will have to pull the fenders or cut the inner lip. The 1-series is not a fitment-friendly car. APEX makes rear wheels that are 18x9.5 ET62 for this exact reason. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it will require fender work.

18x9 et50 front had the same flat face as the 18x8.5 et35.

but you can run the 18x9.5 et35 in the rear IF you change the rear wheel hub with the hub from the E9x or E87 130i. also you need to change the rear brake disk to the Performance brake disc from the E87 130i.

with this modification you have 10mm more room.
