As for the car I'm still working on the body. I rented a bigger garage to work in and bought a welder. I've been cutting out a lot of cancer and getting ready for new sheet metal.
The go fast parts have been coming in also

Yep! Special ones too! 17x8.5 front 17x9.5 rear from an e34 b10 biturbo.

will your 5x120 hub modifications let you run low offset wheels, or do you have fender mods in mind?

The 135i hubs in the front are actually going to hurt me to the tune of 10mm. The z4 hubs in the rear are about 2.5mm wider than stock, but the rear wont be an issue. I do have some fender mods in the works, as Earl eluded to lol. Even then I think it might be a squeeze up front. I might have to pull a few tricks out of my a$$ but it'll fit!
When I finally get some time away from work I'll get the bearing and hubs pressed in. Then I can do some test fitting :]
-
Is the 135 front hub/bearing a bolt on unit? Or are you also working some magic with that?
Does it widen the track by 10mm, or reduce it by 10mm? -
Yep! The 1 series uses the same wheel bearing in the rear as an e30, and the ix uses the same bearing in the front as in the rear. BMW is kind of dumb though, the front and rear wheel bearings have different oem part numbers yet the FAG/SKF part number is the same, idk why the different OEM p/ns.
There are two different 1er hubs, one with a larger offset than the other, I have the shorter hubs. They have a 10mm/side wider track than a stock ix front hub. The wider track kind of sucks because fender clearance is already an issue for a stock ix, always have to run high offset wheels. I guess this is the best I can do without machining my own hubs. I'm kind of scared to test fit my wheels lol.

Drove the Tail of the Dragon today. It was pretty fun. Can say the Buick Regal RS I had for a rental car handled better than expected lol. Should be big time lolz to see the pictures once they post them.
