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 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

Crashy as in a 255 30 tyre on a 10j rim going over a Twix wrapper will feel like a railway sleeperLondon_Gains wrote:Cheers Mr Wilks. By the way, what does "Crashy" mean?mr wilks wrote:Imagine your current wheels with a 15mm spacer , no need to worry about the new set sitting flush

I think you can get the look & stance you want without losing ride quality , sometimes needs a little try & test before getting it 100%
