BBS LM's on 135i. Would it fit?

aren · 08-30-2012, 11:52 PM

Hey guys, have a chance to get LM's for a good price and was wondering if they would fit.

My car is lowered on H&R Super Sport Springs and the size on the LM's are
19x8.5 et 35 front
19x9.5 et 32 rear

Would they fit? And if they do, would I be rubbing?

Most likely some rubbing and stretched tires would be needed.

I highly think it won't. Too aggressive offset let alone being 19's. Probably like what Philip said, stretched tires, cambers, and pulled fenders.

Some is almost running the same set up but 35 all around. I think he had to run 225's so it wouldnt rub. Its on the forum somewhere.

Dont do it. You will rub and it won't look right. 45mm is what you are looking for.

Yep, people jam/stretch them in there. But just to give you an idea how tough it will be, I have the same sizes but my rear offset is 45. I rubbed with 245/35/19s. I got my fenders aggressively rolled to the point that you can fairly easily see it from the outside. Then I bent them some more in rubbing areas. Then I removed my rearseat and I barely rubbed at that point. What fixed it for me was going to a small running tire brand in a 255/30/30.

Imagine all that but in your case you'd have a half inch further poking out wheels. They'd better be really great wheels to try something like that!
