running massive camber EDIT M6 wheels fitment ?

[Dangerous-Dave]

So I've been considering wheels for some time now and while i agree the csl's do look dam good, they are almost standard fitment now and d lie to be a bit different.

During my searches I came across a picture of a coupe running E9? M3 wheels. Using the offset calculator the 19x8.5x29mm front will give a 5mm less inside and 7mm more outside. Whereas the 19x9.5x23mm rear gives a 13mm more inside and a 25mm more outside.

All very good but will they fit?

The same search suggests a -2.5 camber up front, really? what's the affect of running that much camber on a street ride?

I run -2.9 on my car. I don't do it to tuck in incorrect offset wheels however, I do it to stop the extreme shoulder wear I experience during hard use, front tyre wear is completely equal as the extreme shoulder wear is countered but the inner , middle wear during normal driving. If this was a DD I'd definitely not run this camber as the car follows all the ruts and bumps.....

But in answer to your question those wheels will easily fit with some extreme camber... I actually have a set.

An that's not the answer I was hoping for, but it is an answer that stops me spending a wedge of free on something that makes it worse.

Ok, so my next question is M6 wheels.

9.5 x19 EH2 (so the chap selling tells me) but is the "EH2" really the offset, that seems waaayyyy to small?

Edit:

Ignore me, they are 12 front 14 rear so my plans are ruined. Dame and those are the ones I wanted above all others.

So I can't get these wheels out of my head and I've seen several posts showing MC's with them fitted http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1046 which is just making me

Someone, please how can I get a set of M6's to fit. Can/do originals go on and if so how, if not and it has to be reps, where to get them from?

Thanks for the help

I really looked into this in some detail as I loved the M6 wheels.

You'll either needs replicas (nigh on impossible to find) and use spacers with them, or run insane camber. I went for different (non rep) wheels made specifically for the car and similar styling to m6 wheels.

Give it up mate, your on a hiding to nowhere.

Aye, there are a few five spoke type wheels about but I really love the deep dish on the rears. Makes the car look wiiide. But if its a no go, then I'll just have to accept it.
