So far i think this wheel is perfect for anyone who wants that M twin spoked look and since this wheel is simpathetic to our cars wheel offsets you wont have wheels sticking out from the surface.

the tires im running are NITTO INVO's 235/35/R19 front and 265/30/R19 rear.

also i have the BBK getting painted as we speak, all fitting done so when i get that back ill finish the job. loving how its all coming together.

getting ready to install my custom 135I 6 piston calipers on this weekend to fill in the gaps in the wheels!!! :)

sorry for the moisture in the headlight its getting replaced ;)

Looking good :thumbsup:

I saw some wheels in a book in a dealership from the BMW Performance range that fit the E85/86 non-M cars which looked great. I think they were 269's.
 
They look lovely - first time I have seen e89 wheels on an e85 and I like it :thumbsup:

The first shot is a cracker, irrespective of the foggy lense 8)
 
Now they are a great looking wheel. Not too blingy and not too plain. Great balance.

Think you may have started a trend -c-
 
Those wheels look great :thumbsup:

Why is micz4's dog lurking behind that tree in pic 1? :D

I've been waiting for ages for someone to put e89 rims on e85. Well worth the wait, looks great! :thumbsup:
 
Hey everyone! thanks for all the kind words!

as far as modifying their was none, just bolted right up, the offsets make it perfect for our NON-M cars, M cars would need spacers in the rear. but the concavity is perfect and really looks fantastic while in motion, once i have the Z4M rotors with 135I calipers retrofitted it should look great and fill in the wheel well nicley....

you can go with a smaller tire than i did with no issue of rubbing, if you go with the 235/35/19 front then you will have slight rubbing but if you heat and move the wheel well slightly the rubbing is gone, their is no rubbing on full lock so thats great. also you may be able to run more negative camber in the front and not get any rubbing that way and not have to modify the wheel well, i still have my camber pins in.

i also lowered it on eibachs springs.

NOTE: if you run stock ride height you wont have rubbing on the front wheel wells, if you lower it you will have sight rubbing on front tire untill the wheel well is modified or more camber is introduced, and that is only if you run the 235/35/19 in the front, the taller tire is just enough to hit the front 10 oclock position of the wheel well.

other than that now that i have remidied the rubbing issue, all is good and it drives fantastic.

check your local junk yards, found these of a totalled 2011 Z4 and scored them for a real good price.


these are going on this weekend!!!!
