Will it fit? 128i M Sport

Guihan · 06-17-2022, 08:52 AM

Hi. Does anyone know if this will fit and will it rub?

Front wheel 18x8" offset 47 - 225/40/18

Rear 18x8.5" offset 50 - 245/35/18

Thanks.

I'm guessing it would be okay, but it might come down to tire choice. If you do have any rubbing on the strut, a thin spacer should solve it.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Do you think I'll need the spacer for the front or rear? Thanks.

The rears are stock size for 135 and will fit w/o any problems. I have them on my 128. Stock on the front [135] is 215/40 18 [on my car] so the 225 might just rub.

Front is going to be the concern. I think it would be okay, but worst case scenario, you just need a thin spacer.

Good to know. Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of spacers, but I do like the wheels and the price is right. I might just pull the trigger and see how it works out. Thanks.

looks perfect to me, elderly springs and suspension rebound from bumps is your enemy.

No problem. I use that tire size on 18x8.5 et 45 (Apex) with no issues. Your rear tire / wheel combo. is almost exactly stock for Sport Pak. , so again, no issue.

Thanks for the info. I bought style 264 rims and put fronts 225/40zr18 and rears 245/40zr18. Looks and rides great. No rubbing. 🙂
