Ive made a number of assumptions any of which might be incorrect here so dont quote me please do your own research!!


So this is confusing me atm, given people here have the hardware, assuming they've got answers lol...

1m Track width: 1542, offset +23

Vs

135i Track: 1496 + 52

29mm difference in offset*2, 58mm.. 1542-58 = 12mm narrower, 6mm per side (which itself is a weird measurement to me, why 6 .. is the rotor hat 4mm thicker for 10mm total narrower hub?)

But then...

135i rear hubs are 10mm wider each side than 1M.
This can be sorted with the right combination of hub flanges and rear brake discs or wheels with 10mm more offset. If anyone is interested I'll update this post with the parts required for the mod. Also, my converted hubs will be available soon (to make way for full M3 rear end).

There is a lot of room on the inside so I'd even go more than 10mm extra if planning wide wheels. With the converted hubs I'm running 19x11 ET25 with 295/30 Pilot Super Sports & -2 camber and they rub very slightly on the guard.
Apparently it's 10mm narrower per side for 20mm total, not 6/12?

vtl you've worked on a few of these conversions no?
