And make sure to check out the weight before buying, if performance matters to you at all.

Some of those 3SDM (whilst being very pretty show wheels) are massively heavy, doing horrible things to your unsprung.

Are 8x18 et49 wheels suitable for both axels in F20?

Clearance wise - OK for rear but likely inside rim will clash with front strut - may need 10mm spacer.

Depending on wheel - you may need spacers anyway to clear the brake calipers

Wheels I am about to get are these on size 8x18" ET49. Wondering if they are good to go or not...

As Blind Pugh has already said, you will need 10mm spacers to clear the shock absorbers.

I'm about to buy a 135 but i feel the stock 18's and any 18's look too small on the car. I want to put some 19's on but i'll be honest, i'm pretty clueless when it comes to fitments etc - can anyone help on what i should be looking for and whether putting 19's on will cause any issues? I don't really want to tamper with much if it's not necessary

I'm looking for some wheels like these but struggling to find any online - if anyone can help with that as well it would be amazing!

Aren't they just BMW 624m wheels? :?

 

[marco_polo]

As I said, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to wheels!!

I'm thinking of getting these - will these be ok without rubbing etc?

8.5x19 (Front) & 9.5x19 (Rear)

No, those Riva's won't fit nicely, expect rear arch contact.

Why not just go for the 624m's? They're a bog standard fit on a 1 series, and highly sought-after/resellable.

Would anyone know if BMW f30 rims model 393 which are 17x7.5 et37 would fit the 116d 2016 build well?

Sound ok to me.

18 x 8" ET40 square, wearing 245/35 boots:

Hoping for some advice on some alloys I already have (from a previous BMW) - they're sat in my shed with winter tyres already on and hoping they'll fit my 2012 M135i without rubbing problems etc.

They're 18" - 8" width ET42 with 225/40 R18 tyres on - have tried the online wheel offset calculators etc; just gauging opinion here for extra peace of mind!

They sound perfect, in theory. You're going to need to carefully trial fit a front and a rear, just to double check they clear the calipers.

 

[marco_polo]

I know a few have E series alloys on F series cars as winters etc
but is it backwards compatibile also

Will f20/f30 wheels fit E82

Is the difference in bolt size an issue?

Yup, no issue.

 

[marco_polo]

I thought as much
Wasn't 100%)

I have more options on wheels now

 

[marco_polo]

Quite like that

Christ on a bike, I wasn't suggesting 436m's! They're soft, heavy, cast dog**** from Poland. I've got them on as winters, terrible wheels.

Hi, try someone wheels on F20 LCI M135ix front 9j 45et tire 225/35 and rear 9,5j 40et 245/35 ?

Those fronts won't fit, big interference with the shock abdorber.

 

[marco_polo]

Hey i just bought used F20 and im going to get better looking wheels for summer.

I have been thinking of:
BBS SR
8x18 ET 44

Is there any issues with this or is it perfect fit?
Car has M-sport suspension

Tires will be all 225/40 or maybe 245 to rear.

They sound fine.

 

[marco_polo]

Is going with wider rear tyres mostly for looks or is it ok to go with 225/40 all around? (cheaper and easier that way).
Maybe stupid question but i have never had a car with different size tyres.

Give us a clue which engine you have? How much torque you're putting down?

 

[marco_polo]

The rims will be super-exposed so mind the kerbs, but they shouldn't rub anywhere.

Hi, I'm looking to replace my stock 16" wheels with these:

Japan racing JR18
Front: 7,5x18 ET35
Rear: 8,5x18 ET35

But I'm not sure, if it's going to fit
Is here anyone who could advise?

(BMW F20, 116i, 2012)

Those rears are going to be pretty stanced, about an inch more poke than your stock 16's. What tyres were you thinking of?

 

[marco_polo]

ET40 would be a big help in getting arch clearance for the tyres. Is ET40 as offset as they go?

 

[marco_polo]

Ok, so you'll want the ET40's with 225/40/18 92Y on the front, and 245/35/18 92Y on the back.

Obviously a little more stanced than stock, but no rubbing.

 

[marco_polo]

Possibly, they are the wrong size. The overall diameter would be an inch bigger than the 225/40 fronts, almost 4% too large which is much more than I'd usually recommend.

Staggered F20's all use the sizes I originally recommended, so it will be more insurance friendly too.

 

[marco_polo]

ET45 would be less stanced again, that's more of a 'stock' fit.

As they're 8.5" wide, the extra offset would also allow you to run a 255/35/18 94Y on them if you preferred.

 

[marco_polo]

I'd go ET35 with 225/40/18 all round.

If you want to fit the wider 245's, I'd increase the offset to 45.
