Aftermarket wheels offsets

Post by Armada » Wed Sep 07, 2022 8:33 am

Hello guys, i want to buy new r18 or r 19 8/9j wheels for my z4 .

What aftermarket offset will fit the best? I know oem is 29/40is-et 8/9j, for after market wheels sizes are same? What should i look for? Dont want any rubing only clean look.

Depends on tyre widths …

Fronts cope with 30 to 35 mm in almost all circumstances

Rears cope with 33-45 in most cases..

Rim size and tyre size determines final decision..

Who said anything about 42mm offset on front?

That will upset your steering geometry specifically the scrub radius…detrimentally..but if you are happy…
