19” CSL alloys from a Z4M onto non M?

[Digidick]

I think the answer is yes but can anyone confirm if 19” CSL’s off a Z4M are the wrong offset for my standard E85?

Cheers

Throw the actual offsets/widths up but as you suspect :wink: carlos fandango if they're the usual reps

Bearing in mind 'CSL's' never came as standard on a Z4M you need to find out if they are genuine CSL wheels from BMW or replicas.
If they are genuine there is some contention as to whether they fit or not without modification to the rears, there's a thread in the 'wheel' section unsurprisingly.
If they are reps then you need to find out which reps they are and what offset they have, they're not all the same afaik.

Fronts won’t be a problem with 225 35 tyres.

The rears will be the problem. They are et 27 and I struggled to get an et33 in there. I solved it with a 255 tyre but there is no more room without either arch rolling (can’t be done very well on a z4 due to panel positioning) or some arch liner botchery.

The smallest tyre you could run would be a 245, you might just about get it if your not lowered but I think it will rub.

I run a 19” et27 9j rear with a 255 tyre and don’t have a problem.

Although I am running coilovers and a neg camber Of 1.5

Where are you based?

They must be reps though, the genuine rears are 9.5”

Sorry, that was a typo. They are reps but also 9.5 rears

The wheels in question are reps and....

Rears = 19" 9.5J ET38

Fronts = 19" 8.5J ET36

what's the reason running less camber ? oem is -2.5 btw.

More stability at speed and in high speed corners, also evens out tyre wear.

Z4's drive so much better with less rear camber

you'll be fine with 225 fronts/255 rears. I'd say 235's might rub or be very close to catching.. especially on full lock.

Cheers mate.... but I forgot to add they come with almost new tyres and they are 235 and 265 so that buggers that up.

well you can try, I've got 235s on the front and sport suspension and they're fine, do touch the lining a little when on full lock but other than that it is fine.

265s on the rear will be good.

just see the sidewall height, I wouldn't go above 35.
