    Glad you would have found that as an exception haha. I literally didn't even check for offset specs. I knew they were different and that was what had initially stopped me from commenting with that but after reading through your thread again while waiting for my second class of the day to start I couldn't remember why I had stopped so I said it...whoops.

    Those would be the exception, but unfortunately the offsets are beyond extreme for the 135i. It's hard to fit +35 on these without major fender work

    So I'm currently in the process at looking at wheels, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's a thread with all the details;


    For the record I really am not a fan of lots of spokes on most modern-day BMW's. I'd be looking at primarily 5-spoke wheels.

    Other then that the only change is I took a small chunk out of my front bumper Oh well.

    Cheers man! Seeming as this is my first lowered car its been quite a pain getting used to driving this low

    I'm pumped to order wheels as well, I have a cheaper set in mind until I can afford some nicer ones. The problem with these cars is the stock offsets are +45 and +48, and most 5 x 120 wheels only go up to +35 because that's the 3 series offset. So I'm going to squeeze some big wheels in and pull and roll my fenders

    Thank you for all the kind words, not much has happened over the past week except my suspension has settled a little bit more in the front and rear. Hopefully by the end of this weekend my rear will be all the way down as well. In the near future I'm getting my front bumper replayed and ordering some wheels Stay tuned!

    Oh and shout out to Mikey (mike-81-240d) for helping me with most of my installs. Except he's the asshole who put my banner on crooked.

    And here's a picture of be getting used to my rideheight and parking, it shows how much my front has settled.
