What do you guys/gals recommend as far as offsets on 18" for a 135 Coupe using stock tires without rubbing? I like the MM6 Wheels, VRXXX, Alufelgen, etc.. After looking at the "what has been done thread" still confused, lol
Thanks in advance

Hey !

It depends of the model of wheels first. Then you should choose the width of the wheels front and rear and then the dimensions of the tires. Finally we could say if it will rub or no xD !

You have to take care about the ET of each wheels too

[Joaco135]

I know but with so many styles out there it's hard. Just like to know who has similar suspension set up and what wheel combo they are running.

[Fidiman]

For exemple, with stock suspension, you can have a width of 9.0 or 9.5 rear and an ET of 45 or 40 if you have no wide tires.

In front you should put wheels with a width of 8.0 or 8.5 with and ET of 50, 45 or 40.

Smaller is the ET and more agressive is the look of the car but pay attention of the rubbing !

Your probably going to get many different opinions on this topic, but I would suggest looking at the Forgestar F14s. In my opinion they're the nicest looking wheels on the 1er. I just ordered my 19" set. If you check them out and like them I'll help you out with sizes and stuff, the're kind of pricey though..

Best option to get solid advice. Post what size wheel/tire you're looking at directly in this forum. People (like me) love to fire back if it will fit or not.

Also post what you are looking for as your top priority: looks, width, weight.

Ok, here are my choices:
-VMR VB3 18x8.5 ET40 18x9.5 ET 45
-VMR V710/701 18x8.5 ET45 18x9.5 ET50
-MM6 18x8.5 ET45 18x9.5 ET48
-Alufelgen CS7 18x8 ET45 18x9 ET48

Tires will be 215/40 & 245/35 sitting on H&R Sport springs. Any rubbing issues with these setups?

Thanks.

[Fidiman]

I think there should not be any rubbing issues with those tires size but on M stock suspensions ... No ideas with the H&R !

[Brian@bavarianx]

Keep in mind that the MM6 requries a 5mm spacer in the rear.

215/245 setup will be a stretch which should help with clearing the fender.

Lawrence
Will the MM6 with the spacer clear the fender with 245 tire? Also noted the you sell this with the spacer, can you PM me the price shipped to 76542?
Thanks

With V710s or V701s I don't think you'll have any issues with fitment, especially with those tires. Normally we recommend a 225/40 and 255/35 for 18s on those two wheels.

[micha3l]

Definitely no rubbing with the CS7's, I had issues with 255/35 Yoko S-Drives in the rear when dropped on KW v2's, however when changing to RE-11's have no rubbing at all, not even over big bumps

[Joaco135]

Thanks for the advise. Will order wheels soon.
