CSL reps on 128i

bmrdude3 · 06-14-2009, 11:51 PM

what sizes would fit? I am looking at this size 19" 19x8.5 19x9.5 but I'm not sure if I need anything extra or can I just pop them on?

They will fit but some people think this fitment is super aggressive and comes very close to sticking out of the fenders. Plenty of pics around so do a search and decide for yourself. Also the stock tires will be stretched on these wider rims so you might want to budget for a set of 225/255s.

Right, they fit but the offsets are fairly aggressive for the 1er.

if you are not willing to roll your fenders, or run stock sized tires then dont get them.

if you want nice flushy fitting wheels that look great on the car and are willing to spend the extra time to make it work right then do it

Just be prepared to roll the fenders if you go with a wide tire in the rear. I would suggest a 245 size tire on the 9.5" which is not super stretched, but it fit's on the wheel to give enough clearance for the 1 series.

Running with a 255 size tire is ok, like what we've done on our 135i (Picture Below), but make sure that you get prepared to roll fenders as I mentioned:
