Not the most common setup I know, but the only wheels I can find 100% confirmed to fit are a few Apex's

Can I buy a set right now? Absolutely not. Been trying for a couple of weeks and the only guy who replied sold them to someone else.

Does anyone else have solid info on other wheels that will clear?

Might be able to fit widenings faster.

You have a 130i, does that have the same wider rear hubs as the 128/135? If not, maybe the 18" Bimmerworld TA5R, they claim the 18s are good for 380mm big brake kits.

Haha sorry I have a 135i now, but no I've got M3 hubs as well now which are 10mm narrower but the brake hats are 4mm thicker I believe so +6mm effective offset, wasn't worth mentioning as I'll deal with the finer details of the fitment later

TA5R doesn't help as it's only available in low offset fitment.

What size wheel are you trying to find? What size tire do you want to run? Have you rolled the rear fenders?

8.5+ 35-45 front (or a bit wider) and 9.5 +58 rear. Or as close as possible. Can go a little lower offset either way, plenty of room in the front with tons of camber but standard rear.

"Wheels that clear f8x brakes in 1 series offsets"

Yes guards getting rolled tomorrow because the only set of wheels that will guaranteed fit (ec7) I can find that someone actually is willing to sell me, is 9" +31 which is HORRID fitment for the rear so they need to be pulled as far as possible.

As I said in the title, im running f8x brakes so I need wheels that clear the calipers.

It's not a common brake setup on these cars, so it's understandable you/not many people actually have experience with it. It's way more frustrating than I expected though, legit thought I'd be able to just go /slightly/ lower offset in almost any wheel.... Nope.

Local brand (Koya) doesn't have a single wheel that will clear in offsets lower than +22/+27.
