Hey guys,

I have stock M-sport suspension, M3 control arms, Dinanc camber plates, and free front camber mod.

I'm thinking of running an 18x8 ET40 square setup with 245/35/18.

Would this fit? Would I need to roll fenders?

I feel like rear should fit since people put 12mm spacers on the stock ET52 264 rim.
I feel like front should fit since people run square 264s (using rear rims on front) with 10mm spacers.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
NewD

You should not have issues with camber plates, but ultimately it may depend on your choice of tire. Some 245 tires will fit with no problem, but others could be close.

Sounds good, I will try with Michelins PS4S and rol the fenders if it rubs I guess.

I want to put on 19x10 Rotiform Las-r rims with a 40 offset but I am not sure if they will fit on the 128i. I have it lowered but that is all that I have done to it.

You are not going to fit a 10" front rim on a 1 series.

Hi all,
I´m new to this forum but I´ve been quite active at zroadster.com.
My 2003 Z4 e85 is sleeping in a garage back in Germany.
So i moved last year from Germany to Ann Arbor, Mi and got me an 2012 128i.
I already installed a magnaflow catback and had to change VVT gasket and camshaft sensors and solenoid valves.
Now I´m looking into new rims.
With those weird offsets for the rear I´ll probably go with VMR or Apex.

It´s stock suspension until now but probably keep that because Michigan roads are too bad.
So wheels 18x8,5 ET/Offset 45 for front and 18x9,5 ET/offset58 for rear would fit I guess.
225 40 R18 front and 255 35 R18 for rear.

Are there any guys in this forum who work at apex or vmr who give you a discount?
At zroadster.com we had something like this which was cool.

Thanks
Peter

I don't think you could get them to fit without rolling fenders and lots of camber. That offset in front will push you against the fender. It's not worth it IMO. You can get the wheels in the proper offset if you're dead-set on that design. If it were a rare wheel that was only available in one offset, it might be worth the effort.

I came across a deal on a set of wheels with the following specs and I am wondering if I will have major clearance issues, especially in the rear:

Squared
17x8 ET 45
Indy 500 245/40

Thoughts? (Thanks in advance)

Must have negative camber, probably a front spacer, very likely rear fenders rolled.

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.

Apex use to do a group buy for the 1 series about once a year, and the wheels would be around $1k shipped.

Or keep checking the classified section, they are very popular wheels that come up a lot.

If you have a hookup at zroadster.com, why don't you contact them

Wheels: Advan RZII

Front: 18x8.5 +35
Spacer: none

Rear: 18x9.5 +50
Spacer: none

Tires:
Front: Yokohama Advan Apex v601 225/40r18
Rear: Yokohama Advan Apex v601 265/35r18

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:
ST XTA coilovers, m3 front control arms, coilovers maxed out in the back, 3/4 to max in the front, can probably bring it down more.


Notes:

Have notice a slight rub from the right rear on hard bumps at higher speeds. Nothing during daily driving.

Thank you for this! Gives me hope for my 17x9 et38?(need to measure after machining), with 245/40. Camber specs should be similar, but I'll know once the car's together and I send it for alignment. Rear fenders will be rolled flat.

I was hoping to step up to 255/40 but it seems like I might not be able to with these offsets Maybe I just need more rear ride height? Follow the F1 trend of high rake cars lol

Looking to run 18 x 8 Offset 40 in square setup.

I currently have 225/40 and 255/40 on the factory 264. No fitment problems. I have the Bilstein B12 kit, and Dinan D160-0003 Camber Plates.

I'd *LIKE* to put that rubber on but I'm worried about the 255 rears. The reason, is that they're new.

According to willtheyfit.com and tiresize.com they don't look too much wider.

Do you think this will work? I really don't want to buy new rubber. Ultimately, I'd like to end up at 245 all around. 35 or 40 ratio.

Thank you!

E36 M Contours fit. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I've always been a fan of these wheels. Wanted to stick with 17s to have a decent sidewall for crappy roads and parallel parking on all the nasty curbs we have here. Good tires are also very affordable in this size.

Specs:
17x7.5 F / 17x8.5R, both ET41
Conti ECS 225/45 F / 245/40 R
Aftermarket programmable TPMS
BMWP Springs (T1 F, T2 R)/Koni Orange
In-spec alignment, no fender rolling
Stock control arms/no camber plates

Currently:

Stock suspension, no spacers

Want to go:

Front 225/40/18
Rear 255/35/18

Doable? No rub? Minimal rub? Need spacers? Plan on getting Ohlins after that if it matters!

I run 225/40 & 255/35 Conti DW on 18" 313s. Stock Msport suspension with new Koni Actives. No rubbing either before or after Koni installation.
