Apex EC7 on 135i 2010
Will 18x8.5ET35 and 18x9.5ET35 fit a 2010 135i coupe with standard size tyres? 215/40, 245/35.
Thanks in advance for your prompt replies. Willy |

I don't think so - that's pretty aggressive fitment, even for stock suspension. You'll see the wheels/tires will sit pretty much outside the body.
Use this site to compare stock size/offset to your aftermarket options. Read how much the wheels "poke out" compared to stock and you can just eyeball where your stock wheels/tires sit and add the amount they will move outward to see what I mean: https://www.willtheyfit.com/ Do this for front and rear and you'll understand. For example, your rears will sit almost 30mm further outward than the stock 18" fitment!!! I have 10mm spacers in the rear on my stock wheels, and I had to get the rear fender rolled a bit to avoid rubbing (granted I have a slightly lower suspension). Your fitment is going to be a further 20mm further outward! Short answer...not going to work without a lot of body work. |

Still thinking about cutting my fender lips off. Rolling gets almost nothing due to the double layer steel quarter.

The staggered wheels we designed specifically for this chassis are 18x8.5 ET45 Front and 18x9.5 ET58 rear to give you an idea of the offsets you should be shooting for. We make these in the EC-7 design as well so those are what I would recommend although we generally recommend wider tires when running these wheels. Someone else already brought up the fitment guide which is another great resource.

Well I'm getting my fenders rolled tomorrow and hoping I can get these damn et40 offsets to fit, will be extremely pissed if it doesn't work. At this point I'm pissed off that the original BMW engineers back in the 2000s even put this stupid 1 series hub on the car. Why not put the damn E90 hub on to begin with as to not have us suffer this misery of finding a proper square setup for the car. In my mind makes no sense.

Better 245-255 width tire fitment. Same reason I went with 9.5 square to fit 275s. Would have gone 10" square but couldn't fit the rear.
These cars love square fitments. Super neutral and with fatter aspect ratios you get with 17-18" diameters grip is better.

It's not possible on the stock narrow body.
