Hey all... I've introduced myself in the new members section a couple weeks back. I currently own a 135i with a few mods that I'm going to sell and hopefully replace with a ZHP (baby on the way!).

What I wanted to know is whether my aftermarket BBS LM replica rims (EuroTek Le Mans) will fit properly on a ZHP. I think it will, but just wanted some confirmation.

18x8.5 ET45 wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225/40
18x9.5 ET43 wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports 255/35 (offset is actually 48, but a 5mm spacer was included by manufacturer to remedy vibration from improper backspacing)

I get the impression that it should work, but I'm not exactly sure... I've attached a pic of my 1er with the rims for the curious.

Yes...they will fit....but you will need spacers to clear the coils with that offset. Mine are 18x8 ET45 and I rub up front without a spacer. 10mm Spacer added.

so just spacers up front should be fine? I'm worried that the width of the wheels is such that they'll stick out too far from the fender...

You mixed and matched your tire-wheel combo in that description, right? I'm assuming the 255's are on the 9.5" wheels...

You're good to go with those buddy. Too bad my Arc8's won't fit on mine without some serious work. Rear ET +62. :swiss

Yup, fixed it now though!
