Hi,
It's been a long time since i posted last, but I'm looking to to buy a set of 19inch rep CSL's for my z, which I have already lowered 30mm on Eibachs (Cheers A11y) and could really do with some advise.

Can anyone who has actually done this advise on the wheel size and offset which they have, and if they have any issue with rubbing.

I have contacted Projexuk who can provide the following which they say will fit.
Front 8.5j with ET44 and Rear 9.5j with ET27. Has anyone dealt with these guys before.

I would really appreciate any advise before I hand over any cash.

Cheers.

(P.S. No wise cracks about fat fella's and lowered springs) :rofl:
 
I presume you have a non M Zed.
If that is the case the rear offset of 27 will position the wheels 33mm out towards the edge of the body (just over an inch)
I can't comment if this will cause any rubbing but that offset is more suitable for the M.
 
I tried to find an answer to this when I was looking to buy new OEM M3 rims. Offset of ET44 and ET27 is very similar to the offset of an M (as far as I understand) and the problem is that the rear wheels will be positioned to far outside the wheel arc. Because of that I gave up the idea and purchased other rims.
With regards to the lowering, I cannot answer as this is still on my to-do list. I hope there is no rubbing, since I want to do this myself. :wink:
 
Fellows your best resource on wheel size and tire size is your friendly BMD Service Manager, he can tell you :)
 
Try this wheel offset calculator, might be of use.
