My Z4 Build thread

damn it... ET 27 here as well I believe...
Does it rub a lot? Meaning, does it really damage the tyres? Would some extra camber also do the trick?

I have had mine rolled and cut and molded plastic and i still get rubbing at speed in compressions. Before i did any work i was rubbing a lot but only just catching the top of the side wall. with 265s i think it will rub quite a bit. Camber would work i should think. Its next on the cards for me. And if that fails the wheels are going on the big lath to have a few mm taken off the mounting face.

Paha i dont mind guys! It sounds like i wont get any rubbing with 30mm anyway! And they are boxer shorts under the caliper its some old curtain to sit/kneel on and so i dont get paint on the oarents drive haha

30mm should be ok its the offsets that cause the problems.

Wouldn't call 30mm lowering, it's more like waist of time and money

Hi mate, z4 looks nice. I do like grey with red leather.

Mines lowered on fk springs and sits nice imo, although can be a pain when theres any speedbumps.

 

[ScottB]

Holy crap! Bloody love lm-r's one of my favourite wheels. So lowered 30mm will i scrape mate?

On flat roads no, on speedbumps yes. The z4m bumper is lower than the pre-facelift bumpers though so you may be ok.

The ride can be a bit bumpy at speed on uneven roads, but I remember the standard ride (sport springs) being almost the same. Coilovers would sort that out I guess, but they're £££'s.

Golf doesn't look that low to me. You sure you understand what road slammed means
