Hi Guys, I just fitted a set of Rays Engineering 18” Wheels on my 135i Coupe, the 9.5js rear touch quite a bit. Can anyone point me to a good panel beater that can roll the fenders. I’m in Jhb North. Thanks in advance Ziyadh

What is the offset of the wheels and size Tyre are you currently running. I hate to tell u this, but without running a really skinny and stretched Tyre, no amount of fender rolling will help u. 1 series cars come with very high offset wheels.
 
im not sure about the E82, but when i fitted the 10j rears on my E92, i had a lot of rubbing,
My research got me to a point that if i sourced the E93 Convertible rear sprints, then it would be stiffer and lift the car in the back, which it did.
Lifted the rear a good 5mm and i havent touched since.

Im not sure if the 1 series convertible is heavier in the rear that the Coupe, but if it is, then this will be an option for you.
i got my Springs from MD House in Wynberg.

Hi, sorry for late reply. The offset is 35. I”m currently running 235/30/18 front and 265/30/18 in the rear
