Will these fit?

Hey all,
I just picked up my 128 a couple months ago and am looking to get some wheels. Definitely need a little help in figuring out if these will fit. Sorry this is such a noob question!

My initial thoughts are those rear wheel offset seems way too low. Stock offsets are et47 for 128i for 7.5'' wide wheels and I think the stock offsets are more like et50 or maybe even a little higher for the stock 135i 8.5'' wheels.

Someone that's actually tinkered with aggressive wheel offsets + fender rolling + camber can probably give you more informed answer though.

Those won't fit. It looks like the spec for 3 series cars.

1 series offsets are normally around ET40+ for front, and around ET50 for the rear. 19" rims need conservative offsets, and 235/265 is a lot of tire to fit on the 1 series due to limited space. Most people go for 225/40/18 fronts and 255/35/18 rear. In general, you need wheel offsets intended for 1 series fitment.

Thank you guys so much! All the info is appreciated! Looks like I'll keep searching for the right rims!

Those specs are more appropriate for an E92 or a pre-LCI E90. you want something like 18x8.5 ET45 and 18x9.5 ET45-50. with 225/245-255
