Hi all,
I'm getting ahead of the curve.... The tyres have worn sufficiently now for me to consider a new set of wheels for my 35is over the next few months. Only a matter of time before one of them cracks on the standard run flats and leaves me stranded so thinking of new wheels and none-RFT tyres.

I really like the 437M style. Would those fit? The car is standard setup and no spacers or anything.

Bit of a minefield this issue of tyres and wheel it appears.... ???
 
As in the replica ones you mean ? https://cmwheels.com/product/19-staggered-m3-m4-style-wheels-gloss-black-machined-e90-e91-e92-f10-f30-e46/

These fit to perfection , i had them on a previous E89

if its the genuine ones then they still fit too but a little more pokey on the stance :thumbsup: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=107953
 
I had them on my 35is a few years ago..

They can look great,and suit the car..

Are the replica ones any good?
Mr Wilks, what do you mean "more pokey on the stance" ???

The genuine ones are wider rims so 9j & 10j as opposed to 8.5 + 9.5 + the genuine rears are a lower offset so its those that will sit "pokey" as in wider in appearance than your current wheels or indeed the rep set .

So will the genuine ones catch on full lock? The wider stance is still legal?

Rather than starting a new thread, I'm currently looking at putting these wheels on my car in order to make some space for fitting M4 brakes on the front end.
What size of tyre did you fit with these? I'm hoping 275/30/19 on the rear and 235/35/19 on the front as that'd give a little more sidewall than the normal Z4 19 inch tyre and compromise the ride as little as possible, would I be able to get away with a higher profile even?
Any help would be much appreciated!
 
+1 also looking at these wheels (the cmwheels reps, not oem 437s), so also interested in tyre sizes

Having fitted them last night, those wheels wirh the tyre sizes I mentioned are spot on :thumbsup:

Player 1 do you have adaptive M suspension? Its my understanding that this affects the ride height and thus the well clearance. Are the 275/30/19 close to the arch?
 
I've got the standard suspension so will be a little higher than M sport stuff however do have some fairly odd and quite steep inclines where my workshop and house are and I don't think it rubbed anywhere yesterday.

I should have more of a chance to drive it this weekend so shall report back once I've gotten a few more miles on them and try to get a photo or two.
One bonus with those tyres is that there's only 6mm or so less in the sidewall than the 18'' wheels so almost no difference in the ride between these and the 18'' tyres :thumbsup:
 
As soon as the weather clears up a bit I will do, thus far I've only actually seen it in daylight once since fitting them :rofl:
 
As requested, nothing too pretty but does show how they sit. A bit more driving and the rears haven't rubbed but, 265's would probably be the safer bet unless you've got different anti roll bars and stuff as I have. With that said, Goodyears do tend to be a bit wider than other brands for any given size so a 275 Michelin or Pirelli may have more clearance too.
