I just want to say, the looks is DAMN GOOD! Super aggressive, how would I know? I was pulled over coming back from my exhaust install (long story) and was pulled over by you know who for my tints. Anyways, ended up with a warning (More of a watch up for other you know who) and then some praise for how aggressive my wheels look. LOL

Why only 10mm on the rears ?

What RFT's are available that are wider than stock for the 135i ? Also, how much difference will it make to speed readings ?

I need to more grip on the reas as they slip too easily

the 18 + 10 combo is for the stock wheels.
we find that this is the perfect "hassle free" combo.

We have other widths too, if you'd like.

If you want more grip, i highly recommend going a non-RFT route.
Even with the same width, you get so much more grip, with tires like RE-11, Direzza Star spec, T1R, and many more.

I'm worried about getting a puncture and not having a spare

Any better run flat options or wider ones that will fit ?

Also the RAD wheel locks you mentioned.....How much and do you supply them too ?

On a side note, what is the torque setting for the wheels ? and is it different with spacers ?

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any good RFT options.

the RAD locks and bolts come in different lengths if needed. standard for BMW that we sell is 26mm and we do have them in stock.

the torque setting is the same regardless of wheel or spacers.
we usually set them at 90 ftlbs.

I'll be jumping on these soon. Quick question, what color is that on the wheels? Black or gunmetal. I'm thinking of going with a gloss black on my AW with these spacers.

It's matte black powder coat + 10% gloss finish on it. The spacers are matte black finish so it would be a perfect combo

I couldn't find a straight up answer to this one so I decided to test it out for myself.
I'm running 261M wrapped in Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
F 225/40ZR/18 R 255/35ZR/18 and I just installed 18mm F 10mm R
I like the way it looks however after 8 miles of city driving spacers go off the car tomorrow. I was experiencing rubbing in every sharp turn, on bumpy roads not as much but every body roll was scraping my new rubbers.

Thanks for letting us know. Everyone can benefit from information like this.
we designed the 18+10 set up for the stock wheels.

Also, the dunlop direzza sport Z1 star spec do run a little wide too.

I think that you might be able to run something like 15+10 or 12+10!~

A more aggressive stance and a wider track for better hanlding. We also know that this setup will not rub on a stock wheel and tire setup.

I am very interested in getting spacers for my stock rims on the 135i, but I swapped the stock runflats for Yokohama S-drives.

Same tire specs as stock at 215-40-18 F and 245-35-18 R, but they do appear to be wider due to squarer shoulders.

Tire Rack specs the section widths and tread widths to be almost identical as the stock Bridgestone RFT's, but I wonder whether the Yoko's will run with your suggested 18mm front and 10mm rear spacers.

The poster with the Dunlop Direzza's indicated he rubbed, but his tires were 225F and 255R.....which are about 1/4 inch or 5-6mm wider.

Any experience from customers with the Yokohama's on this setup?

Im running Direzza Star Specs 235/255 with stock everything else. I want these but wish they weren't as thick so I wouldn't rub. Any possibility for thinner spacers for people like us?

We unfortunately have not tried these out with the S. Drive tires. However, I do know those tires, and am fairly certain that you will have no rubbing issues as you retained your oem sizing.

We do have other size spacers. You could do a 15mm up front and 10mm out back. Please give me a call if you would like to order. Thanks!
