Is anyone running 10's in the front of their 1? If so what offset and any known issues... I'm sure a good fender roll will be in order but i am interested in hearing your feedback.

Seems a little excessive. I am going to say I "think" it wont fit because of the clearance with strut and fender. Unless you run a 1M front fenders or the widebody front end kits. Or you can go "stance" world and just camber the shit out of it.

Any pics? and offsets?

Also remember that he is driving a 1M so he has that clearance so his offsets will be way different.

I see no point in doing 10" fronts. Can't fit tires bigger than 245/255 anyways up front.

Might be better to ask the guys in the 1m subforum. The answer varies widely between the 1M and the standard 1 series.

On a 135i, no way. Your wheel will either rub the strut, or poke out of the fender, depending on the offset.

If you're lowered, it just won't fit. If you're not lowered and the offset makes it stick out rather than hit the strut, it'll poke out and look awkward (not to mention be illegal), and if your spring compresses, the fender will hit the tire.

Thanks, I figured as much and normally I wouldn't have even bothered asking but I found a really good deal on some sweet wheels but they were 10 all around and before just randomly buying them I was curious to see if anyone had been running 10's in the front. And partially to get a rise out of some members.

+1

10s up front would be very difficult. Maybe with some custom body work you could, but not on factory fenders.

not possible without fender modification
