The UsualSuspect just highlighted the wrong fitment. Advan's are available in proper (5x120) fitment for 335's. They just aren't available with very good offsets for 135's. You'd have to do some fender work, I was considering it myself before I found my Volks.

Someone needs to take the plunge and run either the Advan RS! Such a great looking wheel. With a roll these will fit perfect.
Or Kreutzer Xi is goregeous too

My Volks were made in 2003 from what I understand as a small custom order for the 3 series. I've seen another set or two of wheels just like mine around. They are LE37T's, 19x8.5 et43 and 19x9.5 et 45.

Fshek, Motorsports is talking about these wheels, he knows more about them scrubbing than I do.
The Volks are nice wheels. It's funny to me how many people know Volks. You can tell that they love the setup, they smile and comment "do you know you have Japanese wheels on that German car"..lol. I bought some locks for them but didn't like them, they had larger heads than stock. I won some Gator lugs with locks on Ebay a few days ago that I'm gonna install. Yes my fenders are well rolled and I still scrub very slightly on the passenger side, just on dips at speed. I'm sure I can fix the rub easily. My tires currently are 225/35 Falkens in the front and 245/35 Hankooks in the rear. At first I really wanted to figure out how to get some 255's to fit but then I'd have to go with 30 profile and that kind of scares me. So I'm now planning to stay with the same sizes when I replace the tires, probably going to Yoko S drives. One funny thing that I like that might just be my imagination. I have noticed that I now can consistently spin/squeal my rears wheels moderately without traction control coming on. I never noticed that I could do that before. I wonder if the larger diameter I'm running in the back slightly fools the computer? |

Motorsport probably wishes M3R1 would have bought the wheels also, then he wouldn't have gotten that speeding ticket from the eye in the sky.

Hi Eyeman, Thanks for your info. I am living in Hong Kong and in fact I am more familiar on Jap wheels than others. In term of technology, I will vote Rays/Volks better than Advan. But I still love the concave shape of RS & RZ. A 325 parked right next to my 135 is wearing a set of 19" RS, looks very cool.
So you roll both front and rear fenders or just one of them? Do you think you could avoid fenders from rolling by raising the car a bit (in case you have mod suspension)? Quote:

Some guy just sold a set with the same specs on fanatics, they are hard to come by. I love how your car looks now though.

Fshek, I agree, Advan's are extremely good looking wheels.
My front's don't rub. I could probably use 235/35's up front, depending on the tire. The front fenders would be hard to roll or trim to gain much room. My wheels fit fine without rolling until I lowered my car. I'm lowered 20mm all around now. Lowered as I am (which isn't as low as most) a 255 tire would rub alot if I didn't do more fender work or unless the tire naturally ran less square. If you search for posts by Amsfoto and some others, you'll get an idea what offsets will fit our cars if you work at it or don't lower. I think Amsfoto has 19x9 et 38 with 255/30's and he didn't rub until lowered either. |

These aren't as good looking as the Advans, but they're a lot cheaper, and the vendor has comfirmed a better offset for the rear (+50).
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=267295&page=5 Anyone who's interested, post it in that thread. |

So if I am with stock suspension and don't drop the car, do you think I will be fine w/o rolling any fenders with 19" Advan Kreutzer Xi's at
F: 19x8.5 ET 42 225/35-19 (the calculator shows perfectly fit) R: 19x9.5 ET 45 255/35-19 (even though the calculator shows bigger wheel warning) These settings are almost identical to yours except 1mm sticking out at the front. Sorry maybe I ask to much dump question, but I realy wanna learn experience from people who have fit much aggressive wheels on 135i . Quote:

I would reccomend 245/35 or 255/30 with that offset. But being stock height you may be fine. I am runnign 245/35/19 Nitto Nt555 on 19x9.5 et45 (stay tuned for pics) now and my fenders are cut and I have -2.6 degrees of camber, tucking tire. I may be able to fit some 255's back there. On stock height you may rub sometimes but I THINK you should be fine. Eyeman could comment about the stock height though.

I'm aware of that, and none of the wheels this style that are pictured in this thread are +50 either. |
