Can anyone tell me if this wheel setup is a good fit for my 2011 135i (stock no mods)..

Front - 18x8 +35 offset
Rear - 18x9 + 37 offset

And what are the optimum tire sizes if these wheels fit?

I've tried searching but I couldn't come up with anything... Probably my bad, but I need to know as I have to make the decision to either get it or not by tomorrow....

if you go with 215/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear it should be fine, the popular 225/255 combo may rub.

I ran some 8.5 et 45 fronts and 9.5 et 50 rear I believe with 225 and 255 correspondingly with no rub for a while. Then I did a bunch of suspension work.

Well my plan is to put the stock tires (front; 215/40/18, rear; 245/35/18) onto these BBS CH-R rep rims...

I will be picking these rims up tonight.. hopefully they fit nicely on my stock 135i

This would be my advice as well. The specs listed above are even more aggressive than our VB3 fitment on the 1-series in the rear (by 1.65mm). With our VB3s we recommend a 245.

Thanks everyone, I will be putting the tires onto the rims soon. I'll definitely let everyone know how that turns out (and pics if I get the chance)!!

Bahhhhhhhhhh I lost the hub centric rings that came with the aftermarket wheels...

The size for the aftermarket wheels is 73.1, do I really have to get another set of hub centric rings for my 2011 BMW 135i (whatever the size is)?

Edit: I just did some research and it seems like factory measurement is 72.5... so we're talking about 0.6mm, will I run into any kind of trouble without the hub centric rings?

You might get vibration, I would say get the rings.

So I've finally installed the wheels but it seems like there's some negative camber... I've searched the forum and I'm slightly confused about how I can fix the camber.

I see a few post that says our cars don't require camber kit to adjust rear camber. Can someone tell me whether or not that's true?
