ET question

[Commando_Rob]

Hi all looking at sets of 19" alloys for my Z4 would ET27 9 1/2 j rear and ET44 8 1/2j front fit a 3.0i 04

Thanks.

Few, I was about to call my mother. Glad I read the post not just the title. :wink:

Fronts would fit perfect but rears would be borderline though not impossible . 9.5j et 27 are exact same as genuine CSL wheels which at least 2 members i know of have been running on Si coupe (same fitments as Se E85) without issue .

Exact size of OEM CSL rims so they should fit ok.

I thought csl rims didn't fit non m z4s ?

That was my point , the fronts are no concern but the rears 9.5j et 27 some find too much though some members do run that same set up with their OE CSLs on non M cars , its down to whether you want a "pokey" stance on the back & you may need to pay attention to tyre sizes too if you intend lowering or are already lower than stock suspension
This is one example of 9.5j et 27 rears on non ///M Z coupe , lowered on H&R springs & owner does say the arches have been "rolled"

I’m running 9.5 et 15 on the front and 10.5 et 20 on the back so I’d say it should be easy .

Nice but unless that's on air ride virtually undriveable for anything other than short journeys over even tarmac or the arch liners have been removed

That looks amazing love csl's on Z4's ! The tyres I was looking at were 235 on fronts and 265 on rears don't want any rubbing though? It will be lowered on Eibach lowering springs.

Looks like this now that Iv sorted out tyre sizes and some camber

If you put 9.5s on the rear with an offset of 27 and it is lowered on eibachs they will rub without a doubt :thumbsdown:

Unless he fits a 215 30 tyre

That looks awesome if a little extreme, not sure that low would work on my daily commute to work though
Ok looks like I'll give the wheels with ET 27 on the rear a miss then as don't want any rubbing.

It’s on air man , can ride higher than stock if I want. I’d give the wheels a miss if your not into camber/ stretch etc .

Ok, found another set of 19s this time ET 29 rear and 35 front, will these be a better fit?

Thanks for all the replies so far.
