130i E87 width and offset

[WADE_T]

Sup guys

I want to change the rims on my 130i E87 from 17" to 18"

Does anyone know the correct width and offset??

Also if anyone has any good ideas for a rim? .. My car is dark blue.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Sharp.

I like the look with the 135 wheel. Still keeps it somewhat OEM.

Wade, welcome to the forum.

The rim size for the 18" is 7,5J in the front and 8J at the rear.

I've got the oem 18" rims on mine.

The 7,5J takes tyre size 205, 215 or 225. The rear is 225, 235 or 245.

My current set is 225 all round, to allow rotation when doing balancing and alignment.

The previous set was 225 in front and 245 at rear

Nothing yet bru

I wonder if the E36 M3 rims would fit on my car and if it would look good .. Love those rims.

But I doubt that it would fit..

225 is a good all round tyre,I think it's just too heavy for my 116i :biglol:
