Wow that really sucks. Those wheels are supposed to be custom made. Hell, I could make some wheels with the right offsets to fit. I would make them fix that for the ammount of money you spent.

You may want to cut your fenders and go 245/35 for the rear tires.

I have already had them sent back once due to centercaps not fitting. So 8 weeks for them to be manufactured, 6 months for me to get back from Iraq, another 3 weeks for them to look at the wheels and make sure that they have some centercaps for me....and now the rubbing issue (and one other semi-related issue...PM if you want to know about that). My small consolation is Nick and Ali@Jlevi have brainstormed with me about what I could do to fix the rubbing issue as well as given me an assurance discount on the soon to be released Vorsteiner Hood....

I want to cut the fenders but the shops around here a scared to do anything. I have to take an hour drive up to Charleston just to get someone that works "High-End" (Audi, BMW, Mercedes....LOL...makes me laugh cause in Germany, where I lived most of the last two decades, these are everyday cars) can LOOK at it...then make an appointment....and then drive up there AGAIN to hopefully get it fixed...and THEN do a complete alignment...sigh....LOL

TT/Autocross set up

Wheels: Breyton GTS-R
Front: 18x8.5 +48
Spacer: 10mm

Rear: 18x8.5 +48
Spacer: none

Tires:
Front Dunlop Star Specs 255/35/18
Rear Dunlop Star Specs 255/35/18

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:
-H&R Pro coil and springs- all the way up in front and lowered 1/2 in the rear
-Vorshlag front camber plates (brings the tires "in" more, away from the fender lip), 2.6 degrees in front (max)
-BMW strut brace
-Custom rear strut brace
-Dinan Stage 2 tune
-Injen Intake
-G-Force harnesses
-BMP Tow hooks (for track racing)

Notes:
Front rubs a little bit over bumps. Front tires are really wide, if you were to turn and go up a big bump...bye, bye fender. Set up is unbelievable for racing, not what I use on the street (that is what stock tires are for). Unbelievable amounts of grip and very little understeer, even with over 400 hp!

I'm a little confused. If it rubs up front like that, how is it ideal for racing? Can you eliminate it by adding more camber up front? I'd be more concerned about damaging the fenders on the track.

It rubs just a little bit...it is certainly not ideal. I would like more camber, but with the sways and the coilover set up that is max camber. I am looking for more grip and to loose the understeer. The tracks in Colorado are quite smooth, so no worries about damaging the fenders as long as you stay on the black stuff...

^^
what offset were you running on your M6 reps?

I'm new to 1series and have a good deal on a set of M6 reps in 18x8 ET35, I know the offset is quite low... just want to make sure it is doable before i pull the trigger.

let me know, thanks!

Summer rims

The fronts rub the wheel arch liner joint on full bump, suspect some minor trimming will solve it.

The following is results of prototype wheel test fitments. I'll be trying many different configurations so I'll post those up as well.

Wheels: APEX ARC-8

Front: 18x9" et42
Spacer: none

Rear: 18x9.5" et62
Spacer: none

Tires:
Front Nitto NT-05 245/40/18
Rear Nitto NT-05 265/35/18

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber: 100% stock 135i


Notes:

zero issues in the back. the tire is close to the inner noise dampening mat, but not touching. looks like there is room for a 275/35/18. I will test that out, and on a lowered car as well. This is the only wheel that allows for this much rubber in the rear, and it weights in around 18lbs~.

The front was purely an experiment to provide the forum data. the tire is 0.5-1mm away from the strut tube. This would need a 3mm spacer for me to feel comfortable when actually driving around. rubbing did not need to be tested as it was clear on a stock car this would not work. with camber plates and around 3 degrees negative camber this wheel would work.

The intended wheel for the front is an 18x8.5" et38, which will be tested this week.

The tread is probably 95%. Three of the rims have started getting some minor clear coat damage but the fourth wheel looks like it needs a refinish on the lip.

The tires are 225/45/17 Polaris 2 (?). Got them from Steelecase. They said they were made by Continental.

Center caps not included. Looking for $600.

I am going to be winter storing my car so i wont be needing these. Wheels are in amazing condition and tires look basically new... very deep tread.

Please no low balls, we all know what BMW charges for this setup up so here is a chance to save some big bucks!!!

Serious inquiries only

Those BMW Performance OEM wheels are hot!! It would be even nicer if they could make the 19" from the 3 series fit.

On another note, BBS CH pics would be nice!

Looks fantastic. What brand tires are you running? Did you have to roll the fenders?

We are using 255/225 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec in that photo, a minimal amount of fender rolling was needed in the back due to the KWs.
