They look like 403’s. These are fitted to 3/4 Series.

I saw them on that silver coupe for sale and also thought they looked good - there seems to be quite a few sets on eBay from £400 and up.

Fellas, these wheels are 8" front and 8.5" rear with a 36 and 47mm offset respectively. Can I ask how they would fit? Would I need spacers?

Front wheels will sit about 10mm further out than standard Z4 staggered 18s, rear will be 3mm further out (same widths as the 18s). Therefore I don’t think you’ll want any spacers at the front but could get away with 10-15mm on the rear to bring the wheel closer to the outside of the arch.

Not sure how well the 3 series tyre sizes will work in a Z4 though - you might want to ask Mr Wilks for advice.

I’d like to see a picture of a Montego Blue Coupe with these wheels fitted...

Thanks Chris,

I would certainly get new tyres to match the correct OD for my car. The 403M's are 19" BTW.

But.... is 10mm per side a bit excessive at the front? I guess for the rear I could, as you say, add some token spacers to bring them out a little.
