If you are searching for BMW 135i wheel fitment, D-Force Wheels EmPower on a BMW 135i, 18x8.5 +40 wheels on a 135i, or what tire size goes with that setup, this build is a real-world answer, photographed and measured by the owner.

D-Force Wheels EmPower 18x8.5 +40 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 8.5 inches wide with a +40 offset up front, and 18-inch by 9.5 inches at +43 in the rear.

A +40 offset on a 8.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +43 offset on the 9.5-inch wheel keeps the rear in line with the front.

255/40R18 / 265/35R18 tires on 18x8.5 wheels

The tire size is 255/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear: a 255 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Yokohama Advan Neova AD07. We stock Lexani LX-TWENTY 255/40R18 at $104 each in this size, and other 255/40R18 tires through the 255/40R18 tire search.
