Im buying a 2011 space grey 335i xdrive saturday..

I sold my 06 subaru sti so i have a set of

Matte advan rs-d 18 x 9 et35 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern...235/40 tire

Can i convert 5x120 to 5 x 114.3?

Maybe Wheel adapter?
What brand?

Will it hit the fender?

Based on width and offset on wheel alone no you won't hit fender but guess it depends on how thick the adapters are. I know someone else redrilled similar wheels to get them to fit on a bmw.

Ichiban is selling a 15mm adapter

Total offset will go down to 20

It will become 18 x 9 et 20

Will it still be good?

Will it clear the fender?

With 235 it'll be close and that's pretty narrow for 9". At very least pull the front strut camber pins to get some negative camber. Anything wider (245-265) and you'll most likely need camber plates.

What tire size do u suggest?
Front?

Rear?

Will i have any issue in the rear with that setup?
Or pretty much up front only?

Fronts are the issue, rear should be fine.

If you're running square rims, you'll want square tires. Best bet is to run 235/40-18 if you don't want to have to worry about getting camber plates. But as I said 235 is a little narrow for 9".

I would just get them redrilled, buy some Dinan fixed camber plates (much cheaper than adjustable) and run 255/35 square. That's the best performing setup IMO.

North Jersey might be a bit of a stretch but Need Powder Coating in Newark can redrill your wheels, not too sure of costs but they do pretty good work though. As for wheel and tire fitment you'll gain a bunch of room to play with if you do get adjustable plates. I'm currently running 18x9.5 +22 with a 255/35r18 Pilot super sports all around and have no issues with rubbing.
