Details of modified 2011 BMW 135

– Will the wheels 18x8.5 47 offset with P 225/45 R18 tires fit on a 2011 BMW 135?

– Yes, they will fit. As you can see from the pics this 2011 BMW 135 is running E46 M3 18x8.5 with 6.6” backspacing and Bridgestone RE960 AS P 225/45 R18 tires.

front: - perfect fit, no rubbing under any conditions up to 2 occupants (have not tried more than 2 people in car)

rear: - no rubbing on flat driving and slow curves, major rubbing on bumps and hard cornering. less rubbing with driver only (no passengers)

the tires are rubbing on the inside lip of the fender and catching the very corner of the shoulder of the tire. I beleive that a fender roll and shorter rubber will clear as there is only one part of the lip that is catching. The part of the fender that is rubbing is bent back now, you can only see it from the inside. but its bent a very small amount, which tells me that a full fender roll would allow them to clear. to be safe i plan to do the roll and use a 255/35. Ive posted some pics. I'll update next week when the new rubber is fitted. 

I have some 255/35 Michelin PSS comming for the rears. I will mount them this weekend and do another test.

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.
