I was going 17", but I have change my mind to 18".
I want a non stagered set up.
what are the wheel & tire options? I want no rubing/no mods. on the wheel arches.
My car is on order, will be AW/coral red, want the wheels to be gunmetal or similar
1. will 8.5" wide be OK for front & rear?
2. which offset will work front & rear?
3. will 245/35-18 work fron & rear?
hope you can help, thanks

Pretty sure 245 up front is too wide and requires modification of the guards... I think 235 is max without doing anything?

OP,

We have our new 18" CSL wheels coming shortly. They are made exclusively for the 1-series and come in a 18" staggered setup that allows you to upgrade to wider 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tires and require no modifications in order to fit.

Fell free to PM us for more information or email us at wheels@alufelgenco.com

Cheers,
Matt.

245 is wide for the front, stick with </=235. You can do any of the VMR 18x8.5 ET40s on your car, we can do the CSLs or V710s.

Any 18x8.5 ET40 will work. D-Force makes a lightweight eM-Power wheel in that size. I have their 17x8.5 ET40 LTW wheel in anthracite (dark gray).

235 may even be a bit too much depending on the construction of the tire. I had a bit of rubbing front and rear when I ran 235 (running Toyo R888). A slight fender roll fixed the problem.
