Will 18 inchers from a 135i fit?

I found a nearly new set of 135i 18 inch wheels for sale. Anyone know if they will mount on a CM without adverse effect or would I need spacers?

Thanks in advance for feedback.

I was looking for similar information

I plan on getting 1 series rims that are: 7.5x18 ET:49
stock 7.5 x 18 is ET52so it's only a difference of 3mm. This should be fine IMO but I plan on doing a test fit with a friends 135i front wheels.

yes they will. you can go to a max offset of +35. but im not too sure if there will be rubbing issues if your r60 is lowered.

im waiting for my NM engineering springs to arrive 1st. then next will be wheels!!!

I'm on +35 17x8 BMW rims for winter tires. No rubbing with stock sport suspension with 225 wide tires.

I test fit my friend stock 18x7.5" 5 spoke 135i wheel and.... it fits but there is only about 2mm or less of clearance between the brake caliper and the wheel spoke so looks like it'll need about 3-5mm wheel spacer to make it fit properly. :(
