What Wheel Set up's combo are you currently running? (Pics)

Post by London_Gains » Sun May 01, 2016 9:42 pm

Hello everyone,

I wanted to canvas the forum to get a sense of the various different Wheel, Offset and Tyre set ups people currently have and to get a view on what i'm intending to achieve.

I currently have OEM 326M's and am planning to swap these for 19" Avante Garde M359's with 9J ET35 Fronts and 10J ET38 Rears. Planning to stretch the rears into a 255/30. The wheel is very popular on M3's but i've yet to see one on an E89 Z4.

Does anybody have a set up similar to the above? Post a pic or comment your current set up. I'm aiming to get the following stance below but with a deeper concave rear once I've changed the suspension. I really want to get the wheels flush and would love to know whether I would need spacers based on the above set up. The wheels also come in an ET15 & 25 combo but I think that's going to stick out too much.

Imagine your current wheels with a 15mm spacer , no need to worry about the new set sitting flush
255 30 on a 10j rear would be seriously crashy :cry: the stretched sidewall won't look great :(
Id start with at least a 255 35 or 265 30 to see how it rides before dropping the car

Cheers Mr Wilks. By the way, what does "Crashy" mean? :? :oops:

Crashy as in a 255 30 tyre on a 10j rim going over a Twix wrapper will feel like a railway sleeper :P
I think you can get the look & stance you want without losing ride quality , sometimes needs a little try & test before getting it 100% :thumbsup:
