im watching these on ebay and although in guessing they re e39 fitment (due to offset) i can help but think they ll look great on the z4.

If they are e39 fitment then you'll need a hub centric adapter to filt the larger hub diameter that the e39 uses.

won't fit, offset is way too small, they need to be a minimum offset of ET35 for a standard Z. they will stick out beyond the wheel arches at those offsets,

ive seen hub rings advertised that will reduce the cb to sit on the hub. if the rear 18s are 9 inches with 20 offset, would it not have the effect of making it the same as a 9.5 inch width? is 9.5 inch too wide anyway?
