Help with wheel fitment for a 130i
Hey guys,
I'm currently thinking about getting the Linea Corse Lemans wheels in Hyper Black. I have a Sparking Graphite 1er, so when i saw this photo i couldnt help but to fall in love. Pic: My question is if the following specs could work on the e87? Front - 19x8.5 +30mm offset Rear - 19x10 +37mm offset I've seen a 19x10 work on an e87 before, but i dont know what the offset was. So if anyone knows more about this kind of setup, i would love to hear from you! Cheers ps: i'm not too fussed about rolling the fenders and stretching the tyres. |

I think 10" on the rear is a little hopeful, I have seen it but I believe it is non stop rubbing.
Myself I am running 8" ET 40 with 225 on the front and 9" ET 40 with 245 on the rear without rubbing. I would say you might be able to get away with 255 on the rear. My thoughts only and good luck with your choice. |

I agree with Blacky. Consider this: With 18x8.5 (offset 35) and 225/40 front and rear, all four touch the fenders under extreme driving conditions (the Nürburgring track in Germany).
Personally, I think 10" is just too beefy. 8,5-9" with 245-255 is as much as the 1-body can take (aesthetically as well as practically), at least without modifying any body parts. But's that's just my opinion. The wheels themselves are quite nice, though |

Thanks for bringing me back to reality guys, lol. I now need to think about a more conservative offset. The only other option is 19x9.5 +40 in the rears. Do you guys think these will fit more easily?
Cheers. |

This is by no way scientific but if you are running a 9.5 with a ET 40 and I a 9" ET 40 with the same tire, I am thinking you should be in good shape.
As I say nothing scientific but just a guess. |
