e92 M3 on 135i. Need Advice

dtirlokie · 08-20-2016, 08:48 AM

Been trying to find the thread if someone has done this already but don't seem to find anything. I'm getting a pretty good deal on a set of e92 M3 wheels that i think would look really nice and beefy on my 135i. I currently don't have any suspension work done, on stock height. The wheels are coming with 265/40 rear and 245/40 front. I do have a brand new set of yokohama neova 245/40 rear 225/40 front that i would like to wrap them in. Can anyone based off experience tell me what troubles I should expect to run into too?

Not going to fit. Offset is too low.

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the center line of the wheel. The wheel offset is measured in millimeters and results in a positive, negative, or zero offset. Positive offset is when the hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel.

stock offset is around 50 for us. those wheels it's around 30.

So there's no way to get this set up to work at all correct?

Post a picture of the wheels you're referring too.

18 inch E92 would be Style 219s.

There was a member here who did fit them and I believe it required fender rolling + camber plates

Thank You!! And yes those are the same style rims I'm talking about

sprp85 · 08-23-2016, 10:55 AM

Np!

They do look great, if you are willing to work around to fit them.

Also, not sure if you've searched for the other member's thread, but I believe he had it squared out (He used front pairs for both front & rear. So, [4] x 18x8.5 ET29).

thanks again, so i picked up the wheels and did a test fit, just experienced a lot of rubbing in the rear, i was told to go with a lower profile tire, the current tire on the rear is 265-40-18, someone told me to do 255-35-18, also I'm currently on stock height
