VMR V703

[Panta Rhei]

Good morning,

8.5x19 ET 40 front 225/35
9.5x19 ET 33 or ET 45 265/30
I can buy rear wheels with ET 33 or 45. I do not want any rubbing. Car with B12 pro kit, thus it is lowered 30 mm.
Everything is correct here?

On which model Z4?

[R.E92]

If it's an E89 then the ET33 rears will rub on the fender with that drop.

Personally I would avoid any VMR wheels like the plague. I had a set of V710s and they bent really easily (the chap who repaired it first time commented on how soft and malleable they were), the finish was rough and after around 2 years the paintwork started to bubble around the centre caps and valve stems. They are also heavy thanks to the cast construction.

If you don't want to pay a premium for forged wheels I would look into some that uses "flow formed" construction. It's a good compromise between weight and price.

I'm afraid your wrong. There's a lad on my Instagram who is on h&r suspension and et27 (so 5mm more aggressive) m359 wheels 9.5j wide and clears the wing no ptoblem

I have 9.5j et33 wheels on my E85 which are notoriously less roomy in the arches and my car is slammed to the floor and I don't get any rubbing.

E89 & E85 though J , , any E89 lowered will rub with 9.5j offsets under e35 unless seriously stretched rubber , the rear arch liner protrudes done with a defined edge , crazy design , never seen it on any other cars

I know it will rub because my V710 were ET33 and rubbed under compression without my car being lowered.

Sure Steve Smith is on 265 rears n 9.5 ET27 M359s no? the arch liner can be modified with relative ease

[mr wilks]

Tyre size would be crucial , i had rubbing with 255 35 19 on 9.5j et 35 with H&R dropped 35i , once raised it didn't rub same set up , its very minimal but rub is rub & i can't tolerate it

[jamie_z4]

was always under the impression the e89 was roomier hence the lower than e85 offsets - everydays a school day

[Panta Rhei]

Thank you very much. I read all of your opinions and ideas.

[Panta Rhei]

Once again I'm here to ask you gents.
235/35 8,5x19 ET 40
265/30 9,5x19 ET 45
Any rubbing on 3.0si without M suspension? I want to put B12 on this car, keeping that in mind, would you go fot it?
I do not want any rubbing at all...
Then again, these are standard tyre sizes to Aplina roadster S (ET 50 on front and rear) and M3 CSL, that is why I am curious.

225 35 fronts or even 215 35 but 235 35 19 on 8.5j et 40 could get some minor chaffing on compression / full lock with a Si
Rears should be no problem on above numbers

[Panta Rhei]

I have heard that 225 could cause understeer, cuz of how stretched they are, not to mention 215...

wid. min ideal max

Stick 235 or 245s on then , they are the ideal tyre after all
