Details of modified 2009 BMW 128

– Will the wheels 18x8.5 40 offset with P 255/35 R18 tires fit on a 2009 BMW 128?

– Yes, they will fit. As you can see from the pics this 2009 BMW 128 is running D-Force EmPower 18x8.5 with 6.32” backspacing and Dunlop Z1 Star P 255/35 R18 tires.

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:

-KW V3 lowered ~1.5" front, ~1" rear
-Vorshlag camber plates (front)
-slight fender roll front & rear
-had to cut some of the plastic out from the inner fender well


Notes:

These Dunlops run quite a bit wider than the Toyo R1R's that were previously mounted on there. The rears would rub when going up driveways. At the track event we just ran, there was zero rub.

Definitions

Wheel Offset

Refers to how your car’s or truck’s wheels and tires are mounted and sit in the wheel wells.

– Zero wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in line with the centerline of the wheel.
– Positive wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in front (more toward the street side) of the centerline of the wheel. Most wheels on front-wheel drive cars and newer rear-drive vehicles have positive offset.
– Negative offset is when the hub mounting surface is behind the wheel centerline. “Deep dish” wheels are typically a negative offset.
