So for the bumper mount bolt would a bumper quick release dissolve the need for that? Haven't started crawling under my car yet, still researching at the moment. Also looking into e9X m3 complete rear end to solve the LSD problem. Plus you gain 20mm of narrower track total width. If I've researched correctly.... Struggling finding a wheel I like for the size needed on our cars. AHHHH |

Apex Arc 8 in 18X8.5 ET45 on a Square 245/35-18 Continental Extreme Contact Sport tire.
Car is a 128I M Sport. No rubbing issues whatsoever on the stock suspension and they fill up the area nicely. Crappy Pic...but the back actually sits the same height as the front, the shadow just makes it look different.

To run the 8.5 +35 up front, you are going to need camber plates and probably at least -2.5, potentially more, to make it fit. The N5tuner fenders are unnecessary for those tires - just make them fit stock. They will render you illegal for a bunch of autocross classes that the car is otherwise really well suited to. -Mark

Help Me Please!
I own a bone stock 2013 128i with only 25,000 miles on it. I love it to death but I’d like to change my wheels completely. I’m looking into doing a square set up of
Enkei EKM3’s that are 18x8 42et with Nitto NT555 G2 235/40/18 Stock I’m 17x7 47et with 205x50x17 front and 17x7.5 47et with 225x45x17 rear Will they fit without rubbing, doing any fender work, or needing spacers? |

Still havent decided on what to do, now looking at apex current group buyfor 17x9 +42 in bronze and running a square set up. Would love the 17x9 +30 in the rear for concave but not seeing that happening with a meaty tire. Canceled out the idea of N5tuner fenders at the moment. |

Why are people running 235/40/18 and not 235/35 or 245/35? You're running a taller tire than stock.
Or why not run 225/40? I did (45/17) on an e36, was perfect. And tires are cheap.

245/35 can have rubbing issues on the front fender and are a little more expensive than the 235/40 225/40/18 are a popular choice, but some people want more front-end grip to help balance out the inherent understeer in the 1-series chassis. Also, some owners want to run a square set of wheels/tires to be able to rotate them, and 225 section rear tires are a bit undersized to handle the power of a 135i.

235/40/18 does not offer more grip than 225/40 if the wheel is the same (width). But I take your points, certainly explains why people think what they do.

A square setup will definitely help with the balance, but to really dial out understeer you'll need suspension work too.

OEM Style 197’s
On a 2008 135i
Wheels: OEM Style 197's (BBS RX283) Front: 18"x8" ET34 Spacer: None Rear: 18"x8.5" ET37 Spacer: None Tires: Front Dunlop Direzza D101 225/40/18 Rear Dunlop Direzza D101 255/35/18 Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber: TcKline Coilovers with Camber plates Front alignment: -2.1* camber Rear alignment: -1.6* camber Stock Fenders, no roll Ride height set to 13" wheel center to top of fender all around. Notes: Very slight rub in the rear wheels, although it looks like it is just rubbing on the fender liner and not the actual metal fender. Could dial in more rear camber and avoid or raise ride height. Only rubs on highway speeds after hitting a big bump. Last edited by yokomo963; 04-25-2020 at 06:28 PM.. |

I see your point ..lol. how about 225/40 . 245 fronts might be too wide. fenders are rolled though.
