Need help on the rims

[imurs]

I ve got a friend selling his M5 Rims, its good price, but i am not sure can fit in my 03 Z4 2.5l, i fanyone knows that, please let me know.

 

[mmm-five]

What M5 are they from? e28, e34, e39, e60?

 

[imurs]

its the newest model, i reckon is e60

Will M5 wheels look nice on Z4?

 

[imurs]

he offer me a good price and its 19inch with tyres, he bought the car brand new 2 months ago,
so...anyway, anyone has a pic of Z4 with M5?

 

[mmm-five]

The e60 M5 wheels & tyres are quite wide—255/40z19 front and 285/35z19 rear—so you'd probably have to change the tyres as a minimum to something like 235/35z19 front and 265/30z19 rear.

However even then, the offset for e60 M5 wheels is et12 from and et28 rear (for 8.5 and 9.5 wide wheels respectively), whereas a non-M Z4 offset is between et47 and et50 (depending on wheels fitted). Which means the M5 wheels will stick out 4cm and 3cm further than the Z4 wheels.

Here's the specs of the e60 M5 wheels, and here are the specs for one of the many Z4 (non-M) wheels.

BTW this is a good site for BMW wheel info anyway.

 

[IK.]

Nice and wide then!

even if they fit they ud look ghastly! (IMO)

Too wide IMHO, ignore the good price and get a decent 8,5 (225/40/19) front and 9,5 (255/35/19) (MAXIMUM) rear setup and youll be just fine. If you go too wide the car will be lazy and wont drift around corners
