Wheel/tyre advice needed
Just bought a set of wheels and tyres off forum member. First time upgrading to 19s so need advice.
The fronts are 8.5j et35 with 225 35 19 hankook evo s1 tyres on around 5mm
The rears are 9.5j et38 with 265 30 19 Roadstone n8000 with around 6mm of tread all over.
Will these fit straight on with no issues or will adjustments be neccesary.
Car is 2.5si and i currently have 18s on with spacers on rear.
Will the car sit the same or am i gonna have to lower it, so it doesnt look silly? Prefer not to lower it if im honest. And will tracking need redone.
Any advice appreciated

I’ve been informed the standard sizes fitted are -
8j et 47 front
8.5j et 50 rear on non M
If you use ,https://www.willtheyfit.com you can compare old and new sizes
You need to consider the ‘poke’ and ‘inset’

Yes, but they are 18s so using that link is probably a good plan.Gazza51 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 8:18 pm I’ve been informed the standard sizes fitted are -

I found the for sale thread for the wheels which includes pictures, he says they fit nicely on a Z4 Coupe.

OK OP, here are the results.
For your fronts:- https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?w ... offset2=35
For your rears:- https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?w ... offset2=38
So it looks like your new wheels will clear the suspension OK, but will sit a lot further out than OEM wheels. (18.4 mm on the front and 24.7mm on the rear).

Those offsets will stick out by around 5mm too much.
Definitely rubbing territory unless you're running high suspension and don't corner aggressively.

Well, wheels are on and look great.
In the end they sit flush with the arches. Not sitting out or in......perfect
