I've been talking to D-Force wheels trying to get them to manufacture the EmPower wheels with a 135i specific offset. The exisiting 18x8.5 +40 wheel is already green light for a "no rub" 255/35/18 front setup. However we really need a plug and play solution for the rear of this car.
The 18x9.5 +43 rear wheels you see in the pictures "fit", but under hard cornering the tire will rub. Even with some minor fender rolling you can't get these to be 100% interference free.
If D-Force (or anyone) makes at 18x9.5 +60 offset, this will be a plug and play solution for a 265/35/18 or 275/35/18.
So, if you guys like the wheels and would be interested in this, please cast your vote and post your interest. These would most likely be offered in the silver w/ polished lip you see in the pictures and an anthracite w/ polished lip.
Thanks guys!
The pic below is the 18x8.5 all around. What we're going for here is the 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear staggered setup which will allow us to run a 275 or possibly a 285 in certain brands. Tires like shoes run a bit wide/narrow from manufacturer to manufacturer.
