Did your 235/40-18s on VMRs with +45 offset rub in front?

bimmerboyE92 · 11-20-2016, 07:44 AM

Ready to pull the trigger on some new wheels for my 2010 128i with a Bilstein B12 kit (Eibach Pro) installed.

I'm leaning toward some VMRs 18x8.5 rim with +45 offset. However, I don't like the stretched look with 225s... this rim definitely needs a 235 tire IMO.

How many of you experienced rubbing with this setup? What did you do to correct it? Addding camber is not something I want to do.

Depending on your ride height with the B12 kit, you may be able to get away with just a fender roll in the front, if possible. I've seen other customers run the 235 with minimal modification.

I fit my 18x8.5" ET45 ARC8s with 235/40/18 MPSS tires. Just need to roll the fenders flat. I'm also lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit.
