Talking Style 359s on my 2 series

I've been itching to get new wheels since I got my car and I finally pulled the trigger on a set of style 359 wheels in 18x8 et35 and 18x9 et35. I am lowered on H&R springs which gave me a bit of negative camber. In person they look super awesome and best of all... NO RUBBING!

Based off the way my wheels sit... I would hate to run anywhere near a 45 or 50 offest like I've been seeing around here.

I'll be switching up the rears to a 255/30/18 because I'm getting a lot of wheel spin.

Hmmm....I'd love to be able to go square even if it is at 245. Do you have room for 245s up front?

Don't think you can run 245s up front due to inner shock clearance. It's already cutting it really close with the 225s up front.

Different strokes I guess but to me, the wheel should never poke out past the fender like the rear ones do. It's a little better since the car is lowered, but still, I think an offset of ET45 would have been much better (and even that is super aggressive in my opinion, it's the equivalent of having a 20mm spacer on the stock wheels).

Hello, nice wheel set up. Where did you buy the wheels? What brand are they? Are you using RFT? I own an M135i with 225/40/18 at front and 245/35/18 at rear and Iam Looking to get this same set up but with silver color wheels, using the tires the car already has, which are RFT.

No longer have the style 359 wheels. Picked up a staggered set of VMR v703 in gunmetal.

Those look better but need specs and better pics please! Also, please share your tire specs as well.

The 359s I had bought off a friend of mine with a 135i. I believe he bought them off eBay. I'm not sure about the manufacturer though.

I'm a wheel whore so I go through many styles of wheels all the time. Another reason why I switch them is because the rear offsets were way to aggresive which made me run a stretched tire and I had no traction at all with the 235 rears on the 18x9 et35
