I don't know for sure, but I can't see the rears fitting.

As you say CSL rears are 9.5J ET27 whereas OE staggered 18 rears are 8J ET50 so that's 23mm just allowing for the different offsets, then at least another 12.5mm to allow for half of the extra rim width so that's more like 35mm altogether!

Which probably explains why CSL Reps and similar styles are so popular.
Coupes because stunning!

In this situation, I would suggest buying a genuine Z4M

:lol:

And if you don't buy genuine CSLs that'll help fund an M!

Pretty sure there's a dude on one of the z4 Facebook groups who fitted oe csls to his z4m with no issues. Looked great, but no idea if they rubbed or anything.

EDIT: Here you go - https://www.facebook.com/groups/z4ukown ... 486186086/

Worth using willtheyfit.com if you want to understand the exact differences the offset and width etc will have against your current setup, might help :)
