///Marty Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Would 265 be ok with 9.5" and 45 offset? Would they rub? I think you will be just in there bud. They will fill the arches nicely and you should get away without any rubbing. Mine are 9.5 ET42 and i get very slight rubbing under full travel - this has happened less than five times since i put the rims on. If you are worried about it then you could always go 255?

Deezer-D Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Cheers Marty, might just go with the 255 just to be on the safe side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the rears are ET45 and the front ET40. I am running 265/30's on the rears and I did get some slight rubbing when fully laden. I have since had my arches rolled by archenemy (www.archenemy.co.uk). Well worth the £90 spent.

Deezer-D Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 So the BMStyling and BM Autosports are the same wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cage Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 So the BMStyling and BM Autosports are the same wheels? Yes they are; IIRC BM Autosports supplies these alloys to BMstyling, but they both charge the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deezer-D Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Cheers Cage. I've ordered them from BMStyling, hopefully have them for the end of the week Went with the 265 rears (Falken FK 452's) as Carl said they have a vert running 265's with no rubbing. I'm running the standard sport suspension so hopefully I'll be fine. Will post some pics when I get them fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deezer-D Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 nice one buddy, and please say red bbs? I haven't sorted the centre caps yet. Think the red BBS would look the dogs twitcher especially against the Orient Blue but there's the "they're not real BBS" thing to consider. To be honest I can't afford to spend 4K on wheels and I actually thinks it's a waste of money especially if you're **** scared of curbing them and can't actually enjoy driving the car. I think these are an excellent compromise and will look spot on when fitted and to be honest only someone who knows what to look for would be able to tell they were reps. Anyone know where I can get centre caps for these reps? Few pics with red centre caps Cheers D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have source them from flea-bay from one of the Hong Kong based sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Carl a shout and he'll give you a price. I ordered Falken FK 452's for mine and had to pay extra for delivery to Belfast so you'd get a better deal by calling at BM Styling I would think.

Cage Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Any Pics of the new rims fitted to your car yet, Deezer-D.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deezer-D Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Got them on Monday but no pics yet. Will give the car a clean tomorrow and post a few snaps. I'm glad I took your advice (thanks )and didn't get the Linea Corse as the spokes do look to short on them. Well pleased with the BMStyling ones, nice lip on the rear too.

Deezer-D Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Got heavy rain here and v strong winds so never got the car washed Just took a very quick (read rubbish!) pic from my front door which is why the whole car isn't in shot. Car is sitting at an angle which makes it look like it sits too high but it does actually look well on a flat surface. Will get some decent pics soon.

Been looking at getting these myself so the more pics the better :) 18's or 19's in the end? difficult to tell from the angle of the pic! Got 19's - 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears. 235 / 35 / 19 and 265 / 30 / 19 Falken FK 452 tyres. Wheels came with tyres fitted and balanced with BMW centre caps, wheel bolts and a set of locking nuts too. Top service from Carl To be honest 18's would look small because of the lips on the rear, has to be 19's Will post some better pics if it ever stops raining here. As you can see in the photo I still have mudflaps fitted - should I take them off? Cheers D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
