A set of E46 M3 alloys have popped up for sale not far from me, the ad states the tyre sizes are OEM also. Would they fit straight on to my 53 z4 3.0i?
To make things easier, here is the ad. lol:

You will have rubbing with the tyre sizes.
I have them on my car but had to roll the rear arches and i actualy machined a few mm of the mounting face on the rears. Others have not had to do that. i run 255/30 on the rear and 225/35 front.

They look great on a z4.
They go on you just need to put some effort in buddy if you like them enough you will get them to fit. The easy option is to get 2 sets of fronts. But you loose the great concave on the rear.

Wow - that looks like a real bargain OP.
I wonder if they would fit my E46 Compact?

I know. I googled and found them on a sapphire black E85 (like mine), they looked the STUNNING. I dont have the means to buy new tyres (currently running cades with 18" practically new tyres) all round (and possibly the roll the arches) to get them to fit

Must resist temptation - I've only just bought a set of 32s with winters and 224s with summers for my Z4.
This forum can so easily lead us astray!
