Do you foreshadow any issues running 'face 2' 18x9.5" ET43 on the 255/35 for the rear sets of wheels?

Keen to hear your answer. looking to order soon! :3
In order to get the 18x9.5" ET43 wheel to work with a 255/35/18 street tire in the rear of a 135i, you would need a heavy fender roll for the tires not to rub onto the fender. If you are willing to modify the rear fenders, it can work, though it is much easier to fit up to a 265/35/18 street tire with the 18x9.5" ET58 without the need for modifications. This is why we recommend the 18x9.5" ET58 fitment for the 1-series community.
