Maybe not directly for the 1 series.
But I`ve done this on my E91 LCI.
Hi Guys,
I`ve visited this site several times to find a solution for my e9x LCI.
I have OEM styling 359 ZCP Competition wheels with 10J ET 25 in the rear.
On my previous car E91 Pre LCI I had these wheels fitted with rolled fenders lowered on KW.
This setup did not have any rubbing.
I have driven this car for 7 years and after these years I`ve switched to a E91 LCI 2011. I kept my wheels. Ready to mount them on the LCI because it has also M package.
Most of you know that the LCI has 8 mm less space on the rear. I knew It would be tight but lets go!
At first started with rolling my fenders and installed the wheels.
The rear wheel was mounted with a 255-30-19 Continental tire. This one has a little stretch. I don’t like that anymore but with that setup it still has slight rubbing.
I got well irritated by rubbing so what can I do???
I was going to search on RealOEM to find a solution. I found out that everything between my old e91 320D and my new e91 320D is the same when we talk about : trailing arm, wishbones, control arms, rear axle.
The only thing different is the wheel carrier and the Drive Flange Hub
E91 320D LCI
01 Wheel carrier, rear left 1 33326783653
01 Wheel carrier, rear right 1 33326783654
01 Drive flange hub 2 33416752381
E91 320D Pre lci
01 Wheel carrier, rear left 1 33326774807
01 Wheel carrier, rear right 1 33326774808
01 Drive flange hub 2 33416760058
On Further comparison I found out that the rear disk sizes are the same but the part numbers a little bit different.
I thought maybe I have to find the wheel carries and hub in total from the junk yard and see where It gets me. I found them on the local junk yard.
When I went over there the guy on the desk told me. We don`t have them anymore. I`m sorry.
I told him what I want and he was searching his computer and told me. Well the numbers where you are looking for are also from the e87 120D vehicle.
I did not found that bus I asked him. Do you have a wheel carrier e91 320D LCI (same as on my car ) And a e87 LCI 11-2007 120D wheel carrier for me and can I borrow your caliper (very big junk yard)..
Measuring these items I found out that in total the wheel carrier including the hub is 8 mm narrower than the e91 LCI. While the distance between the flange to the mounting point of the brake caliper is identical.
I was starting to feel happy… will this be my solution?
So I took the wheel carrier including hub from the e87 LCI 11/2007 to my home.
I did not had a serial number of the E87 but in real oem I found a original number.
Nice one in this case was that I also found that the rear brake disk has an identical number as my e91 LCI. This would mean that I can put over my hand brake pads and brake disk.
Today the items are installed and thank god. It fits all nicely and most important I`ve created 8 mm more clearance …..
I need to put some tires on my wheels before I can try but I`m hoping it will work. With a 255-30-19 continental tire I will work now I`m sure but I want to fit a 265-30-19 tire so I have less stress.
Numbers of the e97 LCI hub 11/2007 that will give 8 mm more clearance on a e91 LCI.
01 Wheel carrier, rear left 1 33326774809
01 Wheel carrier, rear right 1 33326774810
01 Drive flange hub 2 33416760056
The brake disk is identical
02 Brake disc, ventilated 300X20 2 34216855007
So when you want to get more clearance in your E91 LCI? Go for e87 wheel carriers!!
I will update this when I`ve mounted the wheels.
