Wheel Fitment Question

Sorry guys. Wheel fitment always confuses the hell out of me.
Is there anything I can do to make a 18x8 et20 wheel fit my 135i? Looks like the outer position is extended by 35mm.
Could I run some kind of spacers or tire set up that would make these wheels work?

Cheers!

You could cut the fenders off with a sawzall, but in any case it sounds like the tail (a set of wheels) wagging the dog.

Those specs are very aggressive, so adding a spacer will actually make them harder to fit. When you add a spacer you actually lower the offset even more. I would not recommend that setup unless you plan on cambering your wheels in quite a bit, doing fender work, and running stretched tires.

Those stick out almost 19mm from our recommended front specs, and about 11mm from our recommended rear specs which are already pretty flush on factory suspension.
