Hi does anybody know the maximum wheel offset on a Z4M.??
19 X 8.5 front running 225/35/19
19 X 9.5 rear running 265/35/19

Thanks Chris

Should be ok with low 30s on the front and low 20s on the rear

for safe offsets with this widths and sizes id go with mid 30s and mid 20s on the back, this will allow you to mess around with different tyre sizes and aspects in the future, too low offset will lock you to a certain size.

Are you sure those are the right sizes? They are nearly 3cm different in diameter, front to back.

Do you happen to know the standard offset on the 18's.?

Thanks

New question. Could I get a 9.5 ET38 alloy with 265/30/19 on the rear.??

Yes mate but may need 10mm spacer to get away from strut on inside + a 265 35 profile tyre will be closer to original rolling circumference & arch gap

Had a 19x10 et20 rear with 265/35 or 30/ tyre on my previous one with no issues at all. Could probably have went up to a 275 with no issues.

Perfect, that's music to my ears. Thanks mate

that won't fill out the arch however, may appear slightly sunken in ( I'm talking about with spacer) without the spacer that will look frankly silly..... mid twenties is a nice rule of thumb for a 9.5" width rim.

CSL rear is ET27 so that might give you an idea of what it will look like with a 10mm spacer (ish).

Not sure it would look "silly" without the spacer Beedub , it would sit virtually as OEM 224s do less approx 2mm so barely noticeable
The spacer would probably be a necessity though as without it the rear wheel face would sit 14mm further in than 224s / a 15mm spacer could be used instead of 10mm , depends what stance Yorkie is after
RE the arch gap i'm referring to "gap" between tyre & arch lip as opposed to the wheel face filling arch
