Woooo, first post here! Long time lurker... Stoked to add to this thread. This is my outgoing set up. Will post my new set up later this season.

Wheels: Kosei K1 - super cheap, super light!!!

Front: 17 x 8.5 +40
Spacer: none

Rear: 17 x 8.5 +40
Spacer: none

Tires: Falken FK510
Front: 225/45R17
Rear: 225/45R17

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:

Bilstein B12 ProKit
No fender mods
-3.0 Front camber (M3 LCAs, Turner camber plates)
-1.5 Rear camber

Notes:
This a pretty tame set up. Run it hard at the track with no rubbing issues. I will make a new post when I move to RT660s (likely a 235/45R17).

Also note, the wheels have no issues clearing 135i 6 piston front brake calipers.

For comparison, the ‘existing’ is the biggest factory setup I found listed, new is your setup: https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...h=8&offset2=45

A great reference: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

My 17x8.5 ET40 245/40 do not rub on my lowered car (ever). My 17x9 ET41 255/40 rub in the rear with straight line driving (expansion joint impacts), but not while under cornering load. I need a 5mm spacer in front. I’m heavily cambered -3.6/-2.2 AND rolled fenders in the back. New untested setup for me will be 17x9 ET45 255/40 with a bigger front spacer, the rear SHOULD be rub free.

I just got my new set of 17x8.5 et40 with 245/40 and I’m dealing with some rubbing on the rear at the moment. I’m pretty low and currently -1.5* on the rear (maxed) without rolled fenders. How aggressive of a roll did you have to do to get everything to fit? Just asking because our setups are pretty similar. I’d love to avoid rolling fenders but the e9x hub conversion is way too expensive for it to make sense atm

Wheels: BMW Style 230

Front: 19 x 8 +37
Spacer: none

Rear: 19 x 9 +39
Spacer: none

Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Front: 225/35R19
Rear: 225/35R19

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:
None

No fender mods (yet)
Planning on pulling the fronts out a little bit.

Notes:
I friggin love this set up. This car has been a little project for my gf and I. Believe it or not, pretty minimal rub considering how aggressive the offset is. Really only rubs on BIG bumps, otherwise its quite nice.

Currently

Wheels
Front : 18” x 7.5J ET 49
Rear : 18” x 8.5J ET 52

Tyre
Front : 215/40/R18
Rear : 245/35/R18

BMW performance suspension kit

Now I wanner go for BBS Rims that
Front : 18” x 8J ET 45
Rear : 18” x 9J ET50

I plan to keep the same tyre spec. Therefore, I would like to know the new rims will have enough clearance for both calipers, and any chance rear tyres will rub against the fender even heavy load occasionally? Thanks!

Hello guys, trying to find if someone already tried VMR 703
18x8.5 ET35
225/40/18 and 255/35/18OR245/35/18
135i on bilstein b12

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has done this setup or knew if it would work.

I saw on youtube someone did ST XTA coilovers with the recommended apex fitment and ended up needing to put 10mm spacers all around to make it work so his fitment ended up being Front: 18x8.5 et35, Rear: 18X9.5 et47. So I'm seeing if getting this setup would work:

Apex EC-7 with ST XTA coilovers.

Front: 18x8.5 et35
Rear: 18x9.5 et43

If so, any tire recs?

Figured I'd post my winter setup in here.

Style 157's, forged 17x8 et34, 20lbs w/o tires. Tires are Continental VikingContact 7, 225/45r17.

Car is on Koni Yellows w/ H&R Sport springs, running -2.7* camber in front and -2* in rear. I noticed a little rubbing in the rear going in and out of my driveway. Seems like they're rubbing on the fender liner, not the fender itself.

The plan is to use the same Style 157's with 245/40r17 in the summer which will clear my f30 brembo's... may need to roll the rear fender.
