These are staggered wheels: 18x8 ET42 at the front and 18x9 ET30 at the back.

Tyres are 225/45/18 front and 255/40/18 back

Would the above fit straight onto my Z4 SI coupe?
 
Yes, caveated with... Those are M profile tyre sizes so you may get some rubbing up front. They will look ace though :thumbsup:

I was planning on changing those tyres. So they will fit but i might get some rubbing when on full lock?

They'l fit sweet & not always any scrubbing depending on suspension :thumbsup:
My fronts are 8j et32 with 215-45 profile & zero scrubbing :driving:
 
With standard fit tyres i.e.

225 35 18 Front

255 40 18 Rear i think you should be ok

I currently have m sizes on mine which will be replaced soon and i only get slight rubbing on the back occasionally but otherwise they are all good :)
 
Swap to standard size tyres and you can lower the ride hight :D

quick photo to temp you (same colour)

Anyone ever fit 265/35, i need to order some new rears tyres for it Mot ant the end of the month. Seeing as the 224s are a wider rim the my previous 108s would this be an issue?

can't believe no-one has jumped on these :? too many sleeping foxes 8)
 
Just to confirm something guys, 225/45/18 on the front, 255/40/18 on the rear. M-sport suspension on a E85 you'd expect slight rubbing on the front right?

I got this on M sizes, dropped to standard zed sizes when tyres run low and it was fine :)
 
Yes, they are a straight fit, BUT I'd get rid of the "M" profile tyres, as IMO, it makes the car look like a 4x4! Also I was getting some rubbing on the fronts on M sport suspension, even without the spacers.

Here's mine on "std" ie 225/fronts and 255/35 rears, with 15mm spacers on the fronts..

Thanks for the replies folks :thumbsup:

I'm in need of one new rear tyre so I reckon I'll go for a new pair of 255/35/18's on the rear. Then change the fronts as and when.
 
£268 for a pair of Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 fitted :? 18's don't half increase in price compared to 17's!
