Will this rim size fit on a 128i sportpackage?

Trowa · 06-03-2010, 09:01 PM

I've read alot of the stickies but still don't understand. I'm n00b

would 18x8.5 et 40 fit on the 128?

and what size tires would you recommend?

sorry for asking this question.

8.5 +40 is a bit aggressive for the fronts so you'll have to stretch a 225 on there for better clearance.

225 wide tire is made for something like a 7.5 inch wheel, if you stretch it over a 8.5 wide wheel, it isn't as tall as using a tire that's more appropriately sized for the wheel. Because of that, it will be less likely to rub.

would it look funny stretch with a 225 tyre?
