Hey guys,

I have a 2013 with msport and when the tread wears down on the run flats, I want to get some conventional tires and some new wheels as well. Looking at AG 359's.


18 ich F:8.5 ET 35 R:9.5 ET 40. I already did the willitfit.com and the suspension wont have any issues but the fenders on the other hand will rub. My question is will they will fit with some fender rolling? I'm not familiar with how many mm's of space can be made from a typical fender roll. Sorry for the noob question.

fender rolling and neg camber.

Thanks for the reply. Does the stock suspension allow for some play in the camber department?

Very minimal, I'd recommend camber plates.

Alternatively, both VMR Wheels and Apex make similar style wheels in 1-series specific fitments

IMO look at similar wheel designs in 1 series fitment. You're pushing what can be done with simple rolling and camber adjustments....IMO you will still have rub, you'll need "major" rolling and maybe even pulling....

I have previously looked at those options as well. I really like the concave look in the center where the lugs go. The AG pictures seem to have the best look for that. But then again the pictures can be misleading. From the looks of it I can go with AG which appear to be the most concave in the center but also have the most work to make them fit. Or go with the Apex or VMR with less concave in the center but can put them on and forget it.

Ain't that the truth. I've found that wheel pictures usually tend to show the best looking wheel out of a range of options offered (diameter/width/offset) so you never really know if the picture you're seeing is even the same wheel that you'd be buying. It would be best if you could find pictures of the wheels on someone's car with the exact size and offset you're looking for. That said, typically a lower offset wheel, like the AG, will have a more concave profile. Tire size is also gonna affect your ability to fit those wheels, what size are you planning to go with?

To be honest I haven't done as much research on tires as I have for wheels. Right now the PSS look nice and not overly expensive. But in terms of size, whatever fits will probably be my motto. A the end of the day it's my daily so I don't need anything too extreme in terms of width.

We offer a CSL style called the V703. We will be receiving 8.5 ET45 fronts that have previously not been offered on this model. These would be paired with 9.5 ET45 in the rear.



We also offer the new V801 in 1 Series specific fitments.

I have seen these around and they are on my list of possible choices. One thing I have been wondering about with the v703 wheels, is in regards to the cutout for the little ///M stickers. Some pictures show them and others do not. Do they come standard on this wheel?

Yes, all of the V703s have the cutout for the M stickers.

If you haven't already, check out this thread to see the new V801s on the 1 Series!
