So before I go and sell these thinking there's no way in hell to fit these on my 135, I wanted to ask the fitment gurus on here if just a roll some camber and stretched tires would make these work.

Specs on the wheels are
Front: 18x8.5 +35
Rear: 18x9.5 +40

Lowered on ST coilovers

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I know there have been other 1ers that have fit similar spec wheels but did not poke out in the rear as much as these are and that's why I'm not sure if they'll fit without extensive fender work?

Should fit (based on specs) with camber and tires on the low size for acceptable width.

Are those shots taken with the wheels at ride height? Looks like the suspension is at full droop.

You'll get a better idea of how much room you actually have if you jack up the corner in question from the knuckle.

The first pic in the first post and second post pic are the wheels sitting on boards with no jack supporting it. The two pics where you see the faces are full droop

If you have camber plates, the front will fit. Going to guess that the rear is not going to fit without at least -3* camber, and a very substantial fender flare with stretched tires.

Rear hub & rotor mod will help for sure if you want to use these wheels

I had 18x8" +35 with 215/40/18 and 18x9" +40 with 245/35/18, lowered 1.5". Fit fine, very minimal rub. Not sure how much your extra half-inch will matter. With camber and the right tires, I think it can be done.

Yeah, I just don't get how you don't have any rubbing, yet I get extreme poke for .5" more?? strange...

Front: 215/40/18 Rear: 225/40/18 or 235/40/18

I ran a set of 19x8.5 +35 19x9.5 +40 on my olde 128i with:

F: 225/35/19 and 215/35/19
R: 225/35/19 and 235/35/19

Both setups did not rub lowered on H&R Super Sports only.

Tried a 255/35/19 and It stuck outside the fender too far.

Did/do your rear wheels stick out as far as my wheels in the rear in the one picture?

Yes up in the air it looked exactly like that, but compressing the suspension brought the wheel back under the fender. You can mimic this when test fitting using a jack while the car is on jack stands.

Hmm, great! I think I may try that again and try testing it again one more time. Thanks for the help!!
