Aftermarket wheel Specs
I am thinking about getting a M140i and I still have some wheels from my old e82 135i.
I was thinking of using the michelins that come with the car, so specs would be Front: 18x8.5 et35 with 225/40/18 Rear: 18x9.5 et50 with 245/35/18 My calcs say the wheels will poke 22.7mm front and 21.1mm rear compared to stock. Too much on stock suspension? Will it be ok as the tyres will be slightly stretched? |

Nugget,
Front - 8.5 et35mm with 225/40/18 - combo may be OK - you'd need to check if there's enough clearance for M140i brake calipers - may need to add a spacer which will decrease et mm value ie down to ~30mm...may be tight but worth checking before putting MPSS tyres onto yr e82 rims Rear - 9.5" et 50mm with 245/35/18 MPSS - may poke slightly and tyre sidewalls will be stretched - may impede traction and impair handling as a result.

Thanks, so I really need to test fit and see.
Pretty confident they will go over the brakes, they cleared my 355mm Stoptech ST60 kit on the 135i. |
