Anyone running 19x9j front wheels?

[bmwaddict]

As above, anyone running 9j fronts? I have 8.5s on the front at the moment, my car is lowered but I'm putting it back on oem springs.

its all offset dependant mate. I ran the X5's on mine for a day which were 9J but et35 but with 215/35/19 tyres which are probably way beyond what youd want on an M car. Which wheels are you looking at?

Cheers for the reply Jamie. Looking at Avantgarde M359s, fronts are same as those X5 wheels, 9x19 ET 35.

Slightly different game with Jamie on non M E85 fitment
Isn't Beedub on 9j fronts although 18s ?
You could throw a rear 224 on front to get a idea of how it will stand in arch ?

I'm not too well up on M fitment mate, but i think on OEM ride height you should be OK? They only tend to be issues on lowered cars. The OEM ride height gives you the clearance you need, however with the standard ride height they may look a bit 'sticky outy' due to the lack of camber associated with std rideheight.... think youd be safer with the Atomics like i have - Chris @ CM Wheels will do you a set in M3/Z4m fitment

That would work if I had a set of 224s! Cheers for the idea though.

Jamie, I'm actually talking to someone about a set of csl reps in m offsets at the moment, will have to wait til I sell one of my 3 sets of wheels though!

They are for sale mate, 10in rears though! I just need another set to get on the car first.

 

[jamie_z4]

i know mate thats the only problem Think that id struggle with 10s on the back of mine

 

[bmwaddict]

I'm guessing you're already running a 9.5 rear, how much space do you have left? The rears are et38 10j, currently on 275 30 19 tyres with a slight stretch, nothing too extreme.

Im on a 235 35 rear on a 9.5j.... that is extreme :lol: I think anything miore would rub

Have you got a forsale thread? Very desirable wheels suprised they havent been snapped up

I have Avantgarde M359s on mine. 9J front 10J rear. Rears also have a spacer, not sure 5 or 8 mm maybe. I'm on H&R springs. No issues.
235/35 fronts 265/30 rear PSS. Previous owner fitted them. The only thing I've noticed with these wheels is the paint seems to have chipped easily in quite a few places.

I've tried that, it almost works but sticks out that bit too far. Well, you could probably just get away with it if running 5 degrees negative camber and don't want to use full steering lock!

Yes mate, put them up a few weeks ago, no replies though.

Thanks for that Ron, do you know the offsets of your wheels?

I don't fancy that Dave! I plan to use my Z4M as intended, and maybe even the odd track day in the future, so I want maximum usability.

35 offset I think. My son used to run a 2.5Z and he had 9.5J offset 35 on the front with a 225 tyre.

Totally agree Dave but sometimes you have to see with your own eyes before you put a line through a idea :roll:
