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:

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 :)

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?

I'll probably be selling mine off my MC soon, so if you're looking for a set let me know.

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?

It should be ok then. Fouling normally occurs if the car has been lowered.

I got this on M sizes, dropped to standard zed sizes when tyres run low and it was fine :)
