Happened to me on my E46 330i, where I put 18x8 and 18x9 OZ Superleggera's with 225/255 PS2. Worked beautifully, PS2 has a rounded shoulder. But after I switched to PS1 in the same size, I had rubbing and had to roll the fenders a little. No biggie. I absolutely love the OZ, they are lightweight and surprisingly strong - and I dig their association with motorsports. |

the orange is awesome, if I had the money I would order those and then have the mirror caps painted to match like the porsche gt3-rs

Remember this is a 5 door not a coupe! Tried to that the picture as best as I could completely flush with the tyre (no angle) to give the best impression of amount of tyre within the guard. As you can see on the 5 door there isn't a problem. |

Thanks Blacky, that's a good pic for showing the fit and it is nice. Is there any difference in the rear fender on the 5-door? Over hear we only got the two door.

Just passing by here sometimes but thought that a post would be appreciated since I received my Alleggerita's today.
When I first saw this thread I knew I had to order the Alleggerita's right away for my 123d 3-dr, having good experience of the Ultraleggera on my previous car. So I received them today, thing is it's still winter season here so I am (very) early. But at least I wont be troubled by the chaos that comes back every year when all Swedes suddenly realize they need summer tires. Anyhow, some things to share: I got myself a set of 17x8.5" all round, and each comes with a lable: These are about 0,5kg more than announced for this size. But as with bikes, I figure manufacturers always advertize "best case". It's not like I would notice the difference... The wheel is deeper than I amagined, looks very "japanese racing" to me: As I said, it's still winter here but as I had my car lifted to fit new winter tires I fitted one Alleggerita to have an idea how it will look like (warning for dirty picture ): Looks good enough for me, mostly looking forward to experiencing how 20kg less wheelweight (compared to stock 17" M207 with runflats) and non-runflat tires (GY F1 Asymmetric) affect the handling. Just need to wait till all the ice and snow is gone... Cheers and thanks for pointing these out to me Last edited by Onehp; 02-27-2009 at 04:58 PM.. |

First impressions: increased comfort especially in potholes, car no longer feels heavy-footed. Perfect Set-up: 17x8.5 ET40 with GY F1 Asymmetric 225/45 all round. |

those wheels are light i have them in 8.5x17 for my racecar but 17inch looks kinda small for a 1 series.
But for road i would def go for 18. But the driving is perfect you feel the lightness of the wheel. And acceleration is a tidy bit better. For racing perfect the 17inch for road i would go 18inch. |

And for road use, the roadholding/comfort ratio is very important to me (we have rough roads i bad shape here), and there the lighter 17" with the higher tire wall do a better job. Dynamically speaking there is no reason to have ultralowprofile tyres either. Just explaining my reasoning for going for 17"... Actually, I don't even now if 17" fits over the 135i front brake caliper, anybody know? |
