Confused — E85. 18 style 400.

Post by cooknerkid » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:30 pm

Hi all I have a 2007 2.5i E85 on standard suspension. I have been offered style 400 (wheels only) front 8 j et 34 and rears 8.5j et 47. I saw similar (wheels only) advertised on BM auto sports site saying they would fit E85. Now they have gone and they have some with tyres but these are only listed against E89. Will the 400s fit my E85 if I am looking at 225 40 18 front and 255 35 18s on the rear?. Thanks in advance. :D

Should be fine with those wheels / tyres / widths / offsets fitting your Z4 though the rears would benefit from a 15mm spacer .
The front being quite aggressive stance at et34 the rears will most likely look sunken whereas the fronts will look flush :thumbsup:

They look good, and it's always good to have something a bit different. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mr Tidy. I will get some pics up when refurbed and new tyres fitted- no incentive to rush the zed out of the garage on days like today however :D

I've just fitted a set of these to my E89 so I can refurb the standard wheels.

I really like the look of them!
