18"x8.5 ET45 square, tires are 225 in the front 245 in the rear.
I'd consider myself well informed as far as the performance aspects of the 135i, but when it comes to wheels i'll be the first person to admit i don't know shit about wheels/fitment so i spent quite a bit of time talking to VMR about what would give me "stock" fitment.

I would have liked to have seen a mild staggered setup on your car, but it's going to look good regardless.

I would've liked to do a staggered setup, but they wheels come in 8.5 or 9.5 and the widest tire i can run on is 245. I think a 245 on a 9.5" would look kind of stretched and i'm didnt wan't that. It's amazing how limited the space in the wheel well of a 1 series is, now i know why the 1M has those HUGE flares lol

I believe they call that "Hellaflush," just tell them you want that, they'll know what you're talking about.

Speaking of wheels I got my tires mounted on the wheels and balanced need to order some Wheelmates and then they're ready to go on! Wheels and suspension should be ready in time for the spring cruise season.
