Looking to get new wheels to switch back and forth from my stock wheels. Anyway, will the wheels fit considering the information below?
Front: 18x8 et 47 on 225/40 tires (could I go wider?) Rear: 18x8.5 et 50 on 245/35 OR 255/35 tires OR Square: 18x8 et 47 on same tire setup as above. If I can pull off 245/35 square, that would be best. This is all assuming that I'm on stock suspension, M3 control arms and a Dinan camber plate. I don't want to run spacers or roll my fenders Thanks |

Two setups for my '12 135i
I bought my car used in '16 with about 52,000 km on it. (32,000 mi.)
Dealer had "refurbished" it with all new brakes (rotors and pads) and all new RFT tires. I don't know when it got the black wheels but they looked pretty new also. Sizes are stock 135i for all. According to VIN lookup this car has M Sport suspension and it seems to sit fairly low. The ride is quite firm on the crappy roads here in Ontario. I recently bought an alternate set of rims and tires off kijiji for a bargain price. They are in excellent shape after I spent a couple hours cleaning them. Car is stone Stock as built. SETUP 1 as purchased from dealer: Maybe style 397 black 18" wheels Fr: 7 1/2" x 18 ET 49 Rr: 8 1/2" x 18 ET52 Tires Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A RFT Fr: 215 x 40 x 18 Rr: 245 x 35 x 18 SETUP 2 purchased last week (used but very nice) Wheels Style 286 from an E90 (pre '13 3 series) Fr: 7 1/2" x 17 ET 34 Rr: 8 1/2" x 17 ET 39 Tires Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ with lots of tread made in 2015 Fr: 225 x 45 x 17 Rr: 255 x 40 x 17 No spacers or other mods These setup 2 tires have almost exactly same diameter as setup 1 at 636 or 637 mm (25.1") Initial testing, just cruising around the 'hood indicates no rubbing or interference. Main concern is whether outside edge of tire will rub on fender. Inside edges of tires are well clear of struts and clear the Brembo brake calipers no problem. I am somewhat surprised and will update if any problems encountered. Last edited by jlc45; 08-11-2019 at 08:47 PM.. |

I'm not sure I've posted in this thread, but I'm still working on making my Apex Wheels fit.
I'm running their recommended staggered setup and tire size. 18 x 8.5 +45 and 18 x 9.5 +58. I'm running NittoNT05 235s in the front and 265s in the back. I am also running a 10mm spacer in the rear, which I know is a rubbing issue. I rub the plastic connection between the front bumper and fender right now over bumps and I rub the fender liner in the back over bumps.

I don't know how to upload pictures here but here's an album of my car.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/9zrkcDfPTsyK3anP7 These are 18 inch Alpina Softline wheels. They are 18x8 et47 square. I went with 225/40/18 up front and 245/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S in the rear. All of this is with the stock suspension. No rubbing or issues whatsoever...except for the TPMS error. |

What would be best tire size if I was to switch to the style 103 wheels? Current tires (on style 262) are 205/50-17 and 225/45-17. I don't mind it not being staggered.

Totally up to you. If it's a daily driver I'd suggest 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 all around so you can rotate when needed and get the most life out of your tires. If you are going to autox or just want more grip you can stuff 245/40/17 summer tires on there with a nice stiff sidewall.

I have vmr 703's
8.5" front 35 offset 9.5" rear 45 offset Stock suspension, and I wanted to run 235/40 18 front and 265/35 18 rear anyone know if this will work? I've been through alot of pages in this thread and haven't found my answer yet. I will keep looking. Thanks for any help. I'd rather get different size tires than roll fenders |

Love this! Pretty sure I’m doing the same but have questions regarding tire size. So the wheels are 18x8.5 +35, I’m thinking on running 235/40R18 front and 255/35/R18 rear. I’d like 245s in the front but I feel like that’s a going to be 3 degrees plus of camber?? Would like to keep it under 2. Currently on kw v2 but I don’t think there will be any inner clearance issues. Lastly anyone know if I could run a square 255/35 if I bought the n5tunner front fenders, says it gives 15mm of extra clearance. But I don’t believe you get that much if you are full lock?? Will be autocrossing the car! Any input or confirmation is much appreciated! Thanks! Last edited by Ifranklin; 12-03-2019 at 09:10 AM.. |
