Red face 18 x 8.5 ET 35 fit in rear?

Hi, looking at getting new wheels soon

( http://jr-wheels.com/towar.2120.japa...achined.s.html )

But I'm really not good with sizes or anything when it comes to wheels. Would anyone tell me if these are going to fit, 18x8.5 ET35 all round?

Currently on stock M Sport suspension but going get order Eibach Pro Springs as well.

Thanks

I'm on 18" 8.5j ET38 squared.

My tires are MPSS
Front 225/40 R18
Rear 245/35 R18

Fitment is perfect IMO.

No mods to the suspension except the camber pin removal in the front. My alignment shop may have compensated for this when they tried to bring it back to factory specs.

The previous owner had the fenders pulled/rolled a bit and may have lowered the ride height very slightly from what I can tell.

ZERO rubbing (with and without load) but this may be the closest you can get.

ET35 is a little bit closer (3mm) to the rubbing zone and may make contact depending on the tire.

Hope that helps a bit, best of luck!

Should be fine, put the details into http://www.willtheyfit.com]willtheyfit.com

Are you keeping the same tyres? or going wider?

Wheel will never fit properly without modifications to body work.

OEM 261Ms on the 135i are 8.5J ET 52 on the rear, OP has said he's looking at 8.5J ET 35, so the rim will sit 17mm further away from the strut etc.

I have 18x8.5 ET 37 in the back and I still have room. 225-40 tire. But some people report rubbing with a similar setup so who knows.

I just put on a set of 18x9's ET38 with 245/35's on the rear. They stick out a bit and rub on severe bumps/dips at speed.
