Those tires are a bit weak. I'd go up to 235/265. Also, keep in mind that you're lowered.

With some fender rolling, you should be fine, I think.

I agree on the tire sizes. And yes I have yet to roll my fenders and I still have a good amount of room so with some fender work I feel like these would fit no problem. Just need to get matching ones in those specs and the rears would need to be re-drilled because like we talked about the 18x9.5 et40 are not made in our bolt pattern -____-

I must have missed the specs for European cars!

I would go with 18x8.5 and 18x9.5, both +35. If you are going to roll your fenders anyway, you might as well make it a little more flush.

Those offsets are sooo aggressive for the 1series fuhhhh. What are the offets for the e9x non-M?

IIRC, 18x8 +35 and 18x8.5 +37, but they sit pretty tucked in.

hmmm I dont know if the +35 will work in the rear. I think I would have to run stretched tires. Which would be pointless for that type of wheel

lol what are you suggesting? that I should get my fenders cut/grinded and run stretched tires?!?!

Jzhang runs probably one of the most aggressive/"hella flush" set ups if you will and he has had extensive fender rolling and pulling done by LT.

He runs a 18x9 et38 w/5mm spacer and 18x10 et40. The wheel I am looking at I guess is 0.5" less wide than his so the +/-5mm offset would compensate? But keep in mind he has had a lot of work done on his fenders and pretty sure he runs camber plates.

Cut your fenders and you should be able to fit the 18x8.5 +35 with 265s in the rear.

... I think

But yea, going with the +42 offsets is much more realistic.

But I want 18x9.5 in the rear not 8.5. Plus I have been looking at pics of them when they arent concave they are full of fail. Haha

do you know what I mean though. I wonder if they would have the same appearance in the higher offsets as opposed to the +22 range like on the m3

They won't be as concave. If you wanted the same look, you would need to buy the M3 fitment and then shave down the wheels, but like I said, it probably isn't a good idea. It will probably have some negative effect on the wheels.

exactly...I wonder how much the change in offset would change the appearance.

This gives me hope http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...ighlight=advan

I think it will make a pretty noticeable difference...

The 1 series has such strange offsets. It makes it hard to find wheels that fit correctly.

Those Advans looks like they fit well.

I was so impressed. That car sounded amazing.
They're actually pretty sick cars, especially for the price

or are you only concerned about the front?

I don't think you can do a 9.5 et35 on a 1er.....

Speaking of the S2000, I've been browsing the forums again.



These cars are so sexy.
