Will my e46 rims fit the 135i?

18" x 8 +40mm(F)
18" x 9 +45mm(R)

M3_Dust · 04-09-2008, 09:30 PM

I'm pretty sure those offsets actually fit

ThunderRobo · 04-10-2008, 02:50 PM

anyone else?

ulrichd · 04-10-2008, 03:01 PM

It's not just the offset, but will the brakes clear? Those six piston Brembos need room.

This may actually be the ideal 18" staggered setup, both in width and offset. I'm looking at wheels in those sizes for my summer fun. Brake clearance is not a problem as 17" also clear the calipers.

What wheels do you have, ThunderRobo? Pics?

I have been asking the same thing. I have After market BBS rims the same size as yours from my Z4. I will keep them since I am trading in my Z4 and see if they fit. If not I am sure they would sell fast. They say the 135i has understear so the 18x8 in front would most likely fix that. When I test drove the 135i I did not notice the understear that bad.

I tried this exact fitment. It works if it clears the brakes. Post #75

Gill, that setup actually looks REALLY nice...

Did you do a test fit on a 135?

ThunderRobo · 04-11-2008, 06:23 PM

Yup

My SA hooked me up... as i told him that my investment in rims could be a deal breaker LOL (over $6k in rims and tires)

My 16" stockers didnt fit tho... duh... So i guess i'll be using the run-flats at winters?

No pics tho... sorry!

mikeo · 04-11-2008, 07:56 PM

We'll wait for pics until you have the car. :thumbup:
