On a staggered set up the rear wheels are wider

You can achieve a "staggered" set up with 4 of the same width wheels .
Different offset or tyre size ( or both ) can also produce a staggered wheelset

Thanks guys - simples :)

Can you advise the correct fitment to go straight onto a Z4M just so i'm 100% sure?

Thanks all

You néed to throw in the rim widths with the offsets for clarity but et27 on front of a ZM is low.
The et35 rear not a problem if 9, 9.5 or 10j.
You could even get a spacer behind depending on rim width

I have 9” x 19” with et 31 on the front, looks ok, rubs the arch liner a little on full left lock in reverse, other than that no problem.

The one's i have spotted are 9.5j all round with 265 tyres

Spacers may be an option?

Thread objective is all over the place :cry:
Are you asking if a 9.5j et 27 will fit front Z4M & 9.5j et 35 will fit rear? All with 265 tyres?
If so you will be fine once front arch liners are removed , otherwise forget it

Hi guys

Just fitting some CSL wheels as we speak (genuine) and I was told the center caps would swap from my OEM wheels but they seem quite loose?

Are the centre caps OEM ?

I bought some on eBay and they were loose, I wrapped around the prongs a few times with tape.

Some of the ones on eBay are crap. I bought some and wasn’t impressed at all. In the end I purchased OEM and they were in a different class.
