2004 3.0 Wheel Size

Post by bernniev » Mon Aug 08, 2022 2:39 am

I am new to the forum and BMW ownership. I have a new to me 2004 Z4 and would like to increase the wheel size to 18". My question is what exact wheel sizes are best suited for my vehicle. I see some use same width others get staggered. What is the best option for my application?

As Paddy Wright said all the OE 18" wheels tended to be staggered with 8J fronts and 8.5J years.

You might find some inspiration on here:- viewtopic.php?t=107556

If it helps widen your options E46 3 Series had exactly the same sizes and offsets.
Coupes because stunning!
