Wheel fitment

Post by Mike-55 » Wed May 11, 2022 1:55 am

Hi Guys, I have a 2003 Z4, I purchased some mags, but now I'm not sure if they will fit right, I am worried about the off set. Anyone know if these will fit, if so what tires can I go with size wise. The wheels are a 17" x 8" with an ET35. Thanks

I have 225/40/18 8J ET 37 and I did have slightly rubbing issues behind side marker on the bumper (it is okay now), but I am on Eibachs.
Should be okay if you are not lowered or lowered on M suspension max.
Tyres are Michelin PS4, with Goodyears you'll probably be fine.

Can’t see any problem with that offset. I’ve got 17x8 winter wheels with an even more aggressive offset of ET30 and they happily swap between my coupe and 03 roadster with plenty of clearance on both (neither are lowered). Tyres are 225/45.

If you have 4x same wheel width you go for same 4x tyre. If you have 8,5 at the back you go with 255/40/17 rear tyres.
