It will be aggressive, and I wouldn't really recommend that sizing for a 1-series.

What size tire do you plan on running?

I dig a little aggressiveness.

My 18x8 would NOT fit a 235, had to go to a 225 and add camber. Not sure about on your 8.5 wide.

If using 235s for a street setup / stock camber, I would say no. Not even close!

35 offset on an 8.5 and a 235 width tire will not fit. Maybe with a massive roll/pull up front, and run big camber to boot.

That's aggressive.

I'm running an 8.5 wheel with an effective 40ET (ET45 + 5mm spacer) with 235, and it's pretty darn tight in there. Without camber plates it wouldn't even be close and the fender would be finished in about a week of driving.

Are you lowered?

I was looking to pick up a square setup 18x8.5 ET 45 (arc 8) with 235/40 all around. I read through the tire fitment thread and some people say it wont fit and others say it fits with no problems. I am on stock suspension, but I plan on new suspension with ~1" drop. Will I need camber plates/spacers to run this setup?

**Just a reference, my setup is not what most people prefer or have so keep that in mind**

17x8.5 ET 32 fronts with 215/40R17 tires and my suspension is very low (see sig). I have some room in there for maybe a 225/40R17 tire. If you go less aggressive on the offset I would think you should be able to fit a 235 in there. I had 225s on my stock wheels and I could've gone up to a 235 pretty easy without fender mods I think.

Also, my fenders are rolled and pulled slightly

Stock you won't have any issues, though the tire may rub the strut on the inside. Hence the need for a spacer. Not positive on that though.

Lowered it's a matter of camber. W/out camber plates I can tell you that on a lowered car, that's going to be a tough fit.

Thanks for the info. I am betting it will take more modification than people say it does. I really don't want to run an aggressive camber setting on a street car. Maybe -1.5* up front at max.

I'm at -1.1* camber on more aggressive wheels. With a fender roll and pull you should be able to run these wheels without needing 'maximum camber' like everyone has said

Eh i'm at 1.8 up front and it's fine, tracks a little bit on awful roads but it doesn't hunt too much. Just need to be careful with the toe but it's perfectly agreeable for a daily driven street car. I wouldn't fear camber too much in this instance.

Yea I agree. Pulling is a different ball game than a simple roll but it would fit.

Pulling on the front with a roller isn't much harder than just a roll. The front fenders are pretty pliable and easy to work with. Pulling my fronts took maybe 15-20 mins per side, rears took about an hour each (most of it was getting the sealant and gunk out of the lip)

Did you absolutely need the 5mm spacer to clear the strut? and was it with stock struts? You say you are at -1.8* camber, any rubbing issues under hard driving? If it works for you, I am guessing I will need to do the same as you did!

Yes a spacer is absolutely needed to clear the strut. I test fit my 8.5+46 wheels and they hit the strut before the hubs came in contact. I'm not exactly sure what size is needed but you need one. I am on aftermarket coilovers, I don't know the clearance of stock suspension
