Actually, they are. You are looking at a 9.5j wheel with 3.5 inch lip.

I ordered: 18 inch 8.5j ET 35 and 18 inch 9.5j ET42

Both wheels will go approx 25mm wider than original. I will make it fit by rolling fenders and camber. Please see below for fitment on E82.

And tires.

But what's really weird is that:

The US hasn't officially switched to metric. Although plenty of US corporations work mostly in metric, it's the smart business decision regardless.

The ROTW lets us bully them (with our dollars) into using inches for wheels and tires.

I've never before seen wheels that can fit a one series with that much dish. Very nice. The ability to order 35/45 offsets is great. If only Klutch made a 17....

So I mounted my wheels:









No fender roll, no camber. Just a clean fit.

So I ordered new suspension because I'm tired of the cheap coilovers. I went for Bilstein shocks and eibach sportline springs:



I also grabbed a set of new wheels and sold the Klutch SL14. I went for OEM style 162's:



Both shots are just example pics but I will upload once everything is mounted.
