17x9 square ET42 (10mm spacer in front)
255/40 17 Dunlop Z2SS TC Kline single adjustable, 30 threads from bottom, Turner Motorsport camber plates maxed out, rolled and pulled fenders 1 finger fender gap front, 2 finger gap rear front camber -2.5 deg toe 0 rear camber -2.0 deg toe 0.2 deg Basically at fender lips all around, this is an aggressive fitment only possible with fender modifications. Looking from below I have a TON of strut clearance though. Might lower the car slightly

Glad they are working for you! I had to revert to 17x8 Kosei K5R et45 with PSS 225/45/17, they are left overs from my now dead & parted E39 540i. Just ran my 1st auto-X in the PSS and they're ok.

Did you roll and pull all around? or just roll the rear fenders? Damn....the fitment looks meaty and I was thinking of going a similar size...looks like 255/35/18 won't fit the 18x9 ET45 rears on my car..... |

They are pulled and rolled by the PO, albeit poorly. I need to pull the fenders where it meets the front bumper further as it still rubs there. ET45 would be ideal if I had that option. Guessing you have K8s. Getting the points where the lips meet the bumpers is important

If you're doing a tire like mine, all bets are off, you need to roll/possibly pull, but a MPSS might not need it at all. You probably want like 5-10mm of spacer in the front. I'm enthusiastic enough about 9" square setups being viable that I'm on the hunt for 9.5" square ~ET45 for 265 all seasons. I have strut clearance for days and quarter panel clearance on my last 9.5" setup was very good. ET45 is the "right" offset if you ask me

Frankly, I've been measuring based on the tread width on the tires listed on Tirerack. Current options vary between 225-"245" tires. All in the Extreme Perf. category including Hankook R-S4s, Conti ExtremeContact Sports, MPSS, RE71R and the Direzza ZII Star Specs.
I've found them with their tread widths to sit approximately around 8.5 inches across...on a 9 inch tire, I think gives it the right amoutn of pre-load to maximise handling up front...As for the rear...255 is widest I'd go. Probably whatever is similar to the 255 MPSS in terms of Treadwidth. |

Just installed 235/40 and 265/35 Yokohama Advan A/S' on stock 135i M-sport suspension and 264 wheels. No rubbing anywhere, but I do have rolled fenders.
I think they fill in the wheel wells nicely. Ride much quieter and smoother (naturally) than the Ventus V12s on there previously. Definitely feels a little less responsive, but still handles like a German car should. |

can anyone confirm that this size of wheel/tire combo fits on a 1er?
Front: 18x8.5 +45 Tire: 215/40R18 Rear: 18x8.5 +45 Tire: 225/40R18 Code:
i know i'm going to get hate for this setup. i'm not autocrossing this car or interested in performance at all because there isn't a track anywhere to autocross it in the first place (and then people aka muggles wonder why we all get our kicks on public roads; go figure.) |
