I was looking around the old interwebs when I decided to take a look at AC Schnitzer's website. I saw these wheels and I want to know if they will actually fit a 135i vert or whether AC is full of crap. The sizes are 8.5x18 et 43 all around.

edit. The wheels in this pic are 8.5x19 et 43

I know i'm starting to get annoying but please, will someone please tell me if these sizes will fit?

Is Gill around?

I thought the main difference with verts just had to do with under the car for mufflers and such. For sure these would fit a coupe fine if the stats you gave are correct.

235/35 all around would be the way I'd do it so you could rotate tires.

I don`t think there would a problem only if the whip is fully loaded with passengers in the back.
but maybe there will be small rubbing issues but nothing wicked.
I`d go for 225s all around btw.

I already have the tires. I have Pilot Sport PS2s. 225/40 up front and 255/35 in the back. They are cureently mounted on my stock wheels. I just couldnt afford wheels at the time I needed to dismount my winters. I'm looking for a nice wheel to mount my Michelins on. I was planning on going for 313s from Dan but these caught my attention.

I think those tires will work fine also and I like the unique rims much better than 313's!. Basically it'll be similar to what you have now just shifted out a half inch or so closer to the fenders or more aggressive as they call it. Maybe you'll rub a little in the rear fully passenger loaded or lowered but I doubt it, depends on how the tires spread on the undersized rim. If you do rub a little, I wouldn't roll my fenders, I'd just buy 245 rears next time. 255's are big for 8.5's anyways.

They should fit, but are REALLY expensive.

They will rub a tad in the front if you are slammed, and the rear SHOULD be fine.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $800 to $900 per wheel. To me that's ridiculously expensive for a cast, 1-piece wheel.

Ohh crap then nvm. Ill stick with 313s then. Im not spending upwards of 3K for a set of wheels...especially ones that are not perfect offsets for the car.
